3-2-1: On the paradox of focus, criticism, and the value of reading

“The more you move, the easier it is to keep moving. Maintain the momentum.”

A Chilean saying on criticism:

“Criticizing a musician is easy, but it is more difficult when you have a guitar in your hand.”

A letter from author Anne Lamott on the value of reading:

“If you love to read, or learn to love reading, you will have an amazing life. Period. Life will always have hardships, pressure, and incredibly annoying people, but books will make it all worthwhile. In books, you will find your North Star, and you will find you, which is why you are here.
