Why does the water looks blue from space while here, in a glass, it’s transparent? The blue comes partially from the water and partially from the sky.

You should do things because you really want to do, you're intrinsically motivated and not because some New York Times best selling self-help author told you as it helped Bill Gates or Warren Buffet achieve success.

There’s so much to do and so little time. Prioritization is not to be taken lightly. Avoiding distractions should be a must.

Everyone wants the answers, but you have it all in yourself. You just need to ask the right questions and go deeper.

Fill your time with experimentation instead of routines. By that I mean don’t force yourself to adapt a routine just because it helped someone be more productive. It worked for them, it won’t necessarily work for you as well.

We're insignificant, as a grain of sand on a beach on a planet orbiting a single star out of billion more in a galaxy out of other billion galaxies. We're alive for a small period of time, as a blink of an eye from a single species out of a million others. This is the truth

Don’t accumulate things just because you “might use them one day.” That someday might never come and you will have a bunch of useless stuffs lying around.

The most useful form of patience is persistence. Patience implies waiting for things to improve on their own. Persistence implies keeping your head down and continuing to work when things take longer than you expect. - James Clear

A really good advice from James Clear during these times: "When you feel restless, do a 1-minute workout. When you feel overwhelmed, practice a minute of mindfulness or deep breathing. When the world seems uncontrollable, focus on what you can control."

"The only thing I have any control over is what I think and how I behave, nothing more." You can't control others. Whatever they say or do is just raw data, how you perceive it depends entirely on you. Remove the expectations you have for others and you will be at peace.

“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.” - Antonin-Dalmace Sertillanges
