Art is the experience of what you’ve felt inside.

Steve Jobs, on Microsoft:

The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste, and I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas, and they don’t bring much culture into their product.

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse.

You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.

Make your mind as still as a country lake. That way, when you drop the faintest thought into it late

Cashing in for short-term pleasure leads to long-term agony.

— Ray Dalio

2. Anyone who is a public figure or experiences themselves being talked about, reviewed, etc,
