 ..........................with Kevin Kelly:

When a child asks an endless string of "why?" questions, the smartest answer is, "I don't know, what do you think?"

To be wealthy, accumulate all those things money can't buy.

Be strict with yourself and forgiving of others.  The reverse is hell for everyone.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

Sustained outrage makes you stupid.

Writing down one thing you are grateful for each day is the cheapest possible therapy ever.

There is no limit on better.  Talent is distributed unevenly, but there is no limit on how much we can improve what we start with.

Perhaps the most counter-intuitive truth of the universe is that the more you give to others, the more you'll get.  Understanding this is the beginning of wisdom.

Over the long term, the future is decided by optimists. To be an optimist you don't have to ignore all the many problems we create; you just have to imagine improving our capacity to solve problems.
