Apparently (let’s assume), more people believe the world is flat than those who believe in fairies (given available data). The fact that there are people that believe in either is horrifying. We are still in the Dark Ages. #life #failure
Just because you measure something (times you’ve exercised this week, the number of books you read this year, the profit you made) doesn’t make it more meaningful or important. Most statistics and metrics are there to control your behavior, not provide joy. #life #statistics #failure
Donors want influence. Very few are altruistic. #life #failure
What if you had a box that had all of your answers? But none of the truth? .~ #life
Who is/was your hero? Who do/did you look up to? Why aren’t you like them? If your hero held “power”, your answers will be ignored. Serious question. #life

Kindness should never be some kind of payment. It should be freely given. #life #success
No one teaches you how to be a good person if you don’t listen. #life

If you were to plot every living person’s “story/life arc”, I wonder if it would be rising, falling, or flat. My guess it would be a bell curve around flat or falling. #life #story #character #arc #writing #statistics
