Presence is far more intricate and rewarding an art than productivity  (Maria Popova Quotes) You enrich people with creative resources, and over time, these Lego bricks that end up in their heads eventually build this enormous, incredible castle  (Maria Popova Quotes) Universal WiFi. Without a doubt. I am done with being on the train, not having internet. Or having spotty coverage. It’s a fundamental need at this point. It’s the frickin’ information age! It should be like air! And it doesn’t have to be free. I’m a believer in paying for value. Just having it as an option  (Maria Popova Quotes) I didn’t really - at least intellectually and creatively - have a particularly compelling experience in college.

Ours is a culture that measures our worth as human beings by our efficiency, our earnings, our ability to perform this or that. The cult of productivity has its place, but worshipping at its altar daily robs us of the very capacity for joy and wonder that makes life worth living  (Maria Popova Quotes) Build pockets of stillness into your life. Meditate. Go for walks. Ride your bike going nowhere in particular. There is a creative purpose to daydreaming, even to boredom. The best ideas come to us when we stop actively trying to coax the muse into manifesting and let the fragments of experience float around our unconscious mind in order to click into new combinations. Without this essential stage of unconscious processing, the entire flow of the creative process is broken  (Maria Popova Quotes) Be generous with your time and your resources and with giving credit and, especially, with your words. It’s so much easier to be a critic than a celebrator. Always remember there is a human being on the other end of every exchange and behind every cultural artifact being critiqued.
