Words and Thoughts

People with imagination are more capable to start new complicated tasks, but once they get those task up and running they become equal in performance or even less than any skilled worker.

We can do so little for ourselves and so much for others. We can gain so much for ourselves by doing a little and genuine effort for others.

"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are rotten, either write something worth reading or do things worth the writing" Benjamin Franklin

Notice the strong walls of our city . . . Now examine the inner walls of our city. Examine the fine brickwork. These walls, too, surpass all others! No human being, not even a king, will ever be able to construct more impressive walls. Gilgamesh, Tablet I, 2IOO B.C.

Most of the creativity resides in asking a new question rather than finding an answer to it. Most of our questions are lacking this creativity, for example, most of our questions have their answers ready in the FAQ list, simply because we (as a society) have the tendency to ask the same questions over and over again, in other words, we are united by our strangely ubiquitous ignorance about the same aspects of any slightly complicated brain demanding activity.  Asking a question, that is related to the subject yet it's not in the FAQ list, requires some creativity. Although to ask a question is not considered any kind of real achievement but we really need to reconsider and give it some credit.

Those who get surprised by their happy feelings will not enjoy them for long.

Tendency to finish things fast reflects a lazy behavior, because we want to wrap it up and finish on the expense of a good closure.
