Make the world interesting

Posted on by

When a friend of mine used to grumble because he had to write a paper for school, his mother would tell him: find a way to make it interesting. That’s what you need to do: find a question that makes the world interesting. People who do great things look at the same world everyone else does, but notice some odd detail that’s compellingly mysterious.

And not only in intellectual matters. Henry Ford’s great question was, why do cars have to be a luxury item? What would happen if you treated them as a commodity? Franz Beckenbauer’s was, in effect, why does everyone have to stay in his position? Why can’t defenders score goals too?

Anger

Written in anger

I once read that all good non-fiction books are written in anger.

At first I was taken aback by that. Then I realized [that] it was true.

…

If you do write a book, you are implicitly saying that the world needs this book.

Implicit in that is the accusation that the existing books are either incorrect or incomplete or both.

Job: Meaning of Life 2

Posted on by

.

Your life would have no meaning if you just stay at home, using all the time thinking about the meaning of life.

.

Every day, we face thousands of problems.

In order to survive, we have to create thousands of solutions to those thousands of problems.

Some of your solutions are not only useful for yourself,

but also useful for a lot of others.

.

Why not publish them?

Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Posted on by

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
