Our greatest weakness is losing heart, doubting ourselves, becoming unnecessarily cautious. Being more careful is not what we need; that is just a screen for our fear of conflict and of making a mistake.
Masters are those who by nature have suffered to get to where they are.
They have experienced endless criticisms of their work, doubts about their progress, setbacks along the way.
They know deep in their bones what is required to get to the creative phase and beyond.
In order to master a field, you must love the subject and feel a profound connection to it. Your interest must transcend the field itself and border on the religious.
If your religion is based on salvation, your main emotions will be fear and trembling.
If your religion is based on wonder and love, your main emotion will be gratitude.
-Carl Jung
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. Fall in love with some activity and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about and it doesn't matter.
- R. Feynman
