Significance
There’s a big difference between personal significance and practical significance.
Artistry and Craftsmanship
Creativity and application need each other.
Relevance
There’s so much to learn, but much of it remains invisible until it’s perceived as being relevant to our lives.
Can’t Live Without
Aspire to have nothing you can’t live without.
Instincts
Our instincts can help us glean more than we consciously understand, but only if we train them to do so.
Wonderment
There’s plenty out there to marvel over. If you’re not amazed, you might be standing in the wrong place.
Because I Want To
You’ve got a finite number of years to play with: you might as well do great work for the duration.
Bubbles of Ambiance
On being in the present, or not.
The Deep End
The shallow end is an easy place to be, but growth is found in the deep end.
Anthropological Default
We define ourselves by our likes, but would be better off as anthropologists.
