Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power. - Robert Greene

Don’t think about why you question, simply don’t stop questioning. Don’t worry about what you can’t answer, and don’t try to explain what you can’t know. Curiosity is its own reason. Aren’t you in awe when you contemplate the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure behind reality? And this is the miracle of the human mind — to use its constructions, concepts, and formulas as tools to explain what man sees, feels and touches. Try to comprehend a little more each day. Have holy curiosity. — ALBERT EINSTEIN

The dreamers, those who misread the actual state of affairs and act upon their emotions, are often the source of the greatest mistakes in history — the wars that are not thought out, the disasters that are not foreseen

As Nietzsche wrote, “The value of a thing sometimes lies not in what one attains with it, but in what one pays for it — what it costs us.” Perhaps you will attain your goal, and a worthy goal at that, but at what price? Apply this standard to everything, including whether to collaborate with other people or come to their aid. In the end, life is short, opportunities are few, and you have only so much energy to draw on. And in this sense time is as important a consideration as any other. Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others — that is too high a price to pay.
