Fifty years ago........................
But not all of us........................
. . . we have 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day from now until the end of this decade.
-from this Ben Carlson post, in which he offers answers to six significant questions about the economy
Content...........................
I am content to place humankind at the center of Creation. We are complex enough, interesting enough. What we have learned, limited as we must assume it to be, is wonderful even in the fact of its limitations.
-Marilynne Robinson, The Givenness Of Things
Not even going to pretend (or try) to understand...
“What is realised in my history is not the past definitive of what it was, since it is no more, or even the present perfect of what has been in what I am, but the future anterior of what I shall have been for what I am in the process of becoming.”
“I am there where it is spoken that the universe is a defect in the purity of non-being.”
“I always speak the truth. Not the whole truth, because there's no way, to say it all. Saying it all is literally impossible: words fail. Yet it's through this very impossibility that the truth holds onto the real.”
“I think where I am not, therefore I am where I do not think. I am not whenever I am the plaything of my thought; I think of what I am where I do not think to think.”
“The real is what resists symbolization absolutely.”
On thinking..............................
32. Develop your thinking: treat it as a skill.
33. Observe your thinking to refine it and get more bang per buck.
34. Use proactive thinking: what do I need to anticipate?
35. Use critical thinking: what do I need to do better?
36. Use lateral thinking: what do I need to do differently?
-Nicholas Bate, from this list
