Notable Quotes
- Finding new things to achieve in an area you’re interested in will help keep your passion going.
- When you relate what you’re doing to help people, it will get you excited
- The purpose of neuroscience is not living in theoretical knowledge; it’s learning new things and putting them into practice, helping others, and accelerating their results to get them to live a more fulfilling and joyful existence every day
- Having a deadline can help you start new things and bring them to fruition
- If we don’t have a deadline or self-imposed deadlines that we can oppose, then we’re unlikely to move toward completing a project.
- A big part of creating a deadline is committing other people
- Having something tangible or concrete that is finished in your head will help you make progress and keep your energy up.
- So many people are trying to get more in their day and find more time, but energy and being able to focus, concentrate, pay attention and be efficient are more important.
- To allow something to emerge from the things you’re interested in, you have to experiment and try a range of different things.
- It’s not until we collect a whole bunch of different things, collect a whole bunch of different experiences, and draw from what we know about ourselves and what we’re interested in that we can grow in the things we want to do.
