I read a lot! so i gathered here some paragraphs that inspires me.
1. Introverts prefer
to work independently, and solitude can be a catalyst to innovation.
2. As the influential
Hans Eysenck once observed, introversion “concentrates the mind on the tasks
in hand, and prevents the dissipation of energy on social and sexual matters
unrelated to work.” In other words, if you’re in the backyard sitting under a
tree while everyone else is clinking glasses on the patio, you’re more likely
to have an apple fall on your head. (Newton was one of the world’s great
introverts. William Wordsworth described him as “A mind forever/voyaging
through strange season of thoughts alone.
3. No one would choose
this sort of painful adolescence, but the fact is that solitude of Woz’s teens,
and the single-minded focus on what would turn out to be a lifelong passion, is
typical for highly creative people.
4. Even the
considerably more cheerful Theodor Geisel (otherwise known as Dr. Seuss) spent
his workdays ensconced in his private studio, the walls lined with sketches and
drawings, in a bell-tower outside his La Jolla, California, house. Geisel was a
much more quiet man that his jocular rhymes suggest.
5. Most inventors and
engineers i’ve met are like me – they’re shy and they live on their heads.
They’re almost like artists. In fact, the very best of them are artists. And
artists work best alone where they can control an invention’s design without a
lot of other people designing it for marketing or some other committee. I don’t
believe antyhing really revolutionary has been invented by committe. If you’re
that rare engineer who’s an inventor and also an artist, i’m going to give you
some advice that might be hard to take. That advice is: Work alone. You’re
going to be best able to design revolutionary products and features if you’re
working on your own. Not on a committee. Not on a team.
6. If you frequently
don’t feel secure, you’re insecure.
7. If the journalists
told it how it really was then nobody would buy their newspaper. If they told
you that Victoria Beckham is actually a really good laugh with a great sense of
humor then no one would be interested. She is, but people are more interested
in hearing made-up stories about the girls being at war and how Victoria keeps
herself to herself. Those are the stories people want to read, not the boring truth
8. The pictures in the
newspapers tell you nothing. Until you actually speak to someone you’ll never
know what they’re about. It’s the same being the partner of a footballer.
Unless you’ve been there you can’t know what the life is truly is.
9. My philosophy on
beauty is that if you practice the basics now and then you’ll reap the benefits
in the long run.
10. Pride. A root of
insecurity if there ever was one. We will never feel better about ourselves.
Likewise, we will never feel better about ourselve by feeling worse about
others. Superiority can’t give birth to security. Neither, by the way, can the
relentless pursuit of perfection.
