Friends, I want to share one of the most important things I learned in grad school: other people's success is not your failure. You'll be so much happier if you learn to celebrate the achievements of other people as well as your own.

WHOA. Never knew this! The Brooklyn Dodgers (before they moved to LA) were named because of TECHNOLOGY. Brooklyn pedestrians were famed for their quick-footed "dodging" of this CRAZY new tech of electric trolley cars (replacing horses) whizzing by in the 1890s

these kids today are so coddled & soft. When WE were young we never discussed our “feelings" and WE turned out weirdly manipulative, short-tempered & resistant to self-examination

Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, we're afraid!" they responded. “Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, We will fall!" they responded. "Come to the edge," he said. And so they came. And he pushed them. And they flew. - Guillaume Apollinaire

If children started school at six months old and their teachers gave them walking lessons, within a single generation people would come to believe that humans couldn't learn to walk without going to school.
