“Time isn’t something you can fight. You can’t stop it from moving forward. You can’t undo what has been done. You can only decide what to do next, in the time you have left.”

“We all lie to ourselves. Whether we’re convincing ourselves that something is or isn’t true, self-deception is a common psychological tactic—so common, in fact, that people can be unaware they’re even doing it.
But why do we do it? Research defines self-deception as an independent mental state made up of conscious and unconscious memories and attitudes, as well as controlled and automatic processes, that serves as an attempt at self-protection or enhancement.”

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
— Theodore Roosevelt

The Science Behind Jealousy And Envy| BetterHelp
“There are a number of theories on the reasons why people experience jealousy. Whether it’s over what other people have that we don’t or have accomplished by means of resources, privilege, opportunity, or hard work, it seems like jealousy has always been a part of being human. One theory is that jealousy was how our early ancestors defended themselves from infidelity, according to evolutionary psychology. Today, we’ve taken theory and applied it to more rigorous scientific study.”

“If you limit what you value in design talent by requiring that it absolutely be accompanied by self-sufficient sales skill, then you are shutting yourself off to some of the most creative and talented people in the world. Indeed many people become designers and artists in part specifically because their brains don’t connect with the world the way people who are good presenters do! From my point of view it rather requires a kind of tone-deafness to the psychology of creatives to not see this.”

A USEFUL LIFE IS A GOOD LIFE, A LIFE WORTH HAVING LIVED
“Try to live a useful life. Do things that are useful to your fellow human beings, to the world. It’s very hard to be useful, very hard. Are you contributing more than you consume? Can you try to have a positive net contribution to society? I think that’s the thing to aim for. Not to try to be a leader for the sake of being a leader. If you live a useful life, that is a good life, a life worth having lived.”
