💭 Thoughts

Art

• Good art originates from the desire to show yourself 

Books

• Books give you a window as to how to be exceptional.  We already know how to be ordinary in ordinary times of our life - that's not useful.  Stories destill everything that is boring and exciting things get agregated.  Truth is mundane reality and what we want is the distillation of these exciting experience and thats the story - the writer's goal. 

CARE

• We can move so much further with geniune care for each other.

Chess

• Chess is the only thing in the world were I can see all the factors and understand all the rules

Happiness 

• That's the order of human life and history - to expect such immediate happiness is a mistake. Happiness isn't something you wait around for. It's soemthing you create yourself  

Hope

• Is energy 

Knowledge

• Deson't depend on much you know but how much you felt

Quantum Wave Function 

• The brain can't handle the complexity and organizes it into something it understands 

Metaphor

• The things you feel but can't see 

Poetry

• It's what we don't say that actually says the most. Peotry is found between the lines 

People

• Having the best of everything does that make the best people?

Work

• My ambition is to do the job well.
