Just love learning.

“Belief is the thermostat that regulates what we accomplish in life.”

— David Schwartz, The Magic of Thinking Big

The world rarely rewards preserved potential. It rewards potential that is put to work.

At this point, I'm used to it.

Believe me, people who can read an eBook on their phone can conquer anything in the world.

@AlexAndBooks_ Books: Get more out of them.

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

Every book is actually a self-help book:

-Fiction books help you escape the boredom of everyday life
-Sci-fi books help you envision a future beyond your imagination
-Philosophy books help you question your beliefs and assumptions
-Literature books help you understand the depths of human emotion
-History books help you understand the events that shaped the world
-Romance books help you understand the complexity of love and attraction
-Fantasy books help you find courage and inspiration from a world we can never visit
-Biography books help you learn from the lives of the great men and women who you'll never meet

I have three separate hobbies:

- reading books.
- buying and hoarding books.
- visiting bookstores and libraries to admire books.

"In human life -
joy, sorrow, anger, happiness,
poverty, wealth, nobility, humility -
you must taste them all
to be complete."

@michaelinioluwa Hi

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The strongest version of you is buried under the habits you're afraid to break.”

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

James Clear on the power of daily habits:

[excerpts_from_bliss @bcorji]

"Let your mind become a lens, thanks to the converging rays of attention; let your soul be all intent on whatever it is that is established in your mind as a dominant, wholly absorbing idea."

[excerpts_from_bliss @bcorji]

@readswithravi Man’s search for meaning.

@goodreads

[excerpts_from_bliss @bcorji]

A mind-expanding look at how humans rose to dominate the world.

Not just through strength, but through shared stories — money, nations, beliefs.
We live inside ideas we collectively agree are real. #History #Mindset #Books

Very interesting book, I’d recommend this to anybody.

Derek Sivers said it right:

“Mastery is the best goal because the rich can’t buy it, the impatient can’t rush it, the privileged can’t inherit it, and nobody can steal it. You can only earn it through hard work. Mastery is the ultimate status.”

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Life is too short to worry about little things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down. Study, think, create, and grow. Teach yourself and teach others.

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:

“If it’s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining.”

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The art of not being ready and doing it anyway will take you so far.”
