Three to four hours a day, five days a week, of uninterrupted and carefully directed concentration, it turns out, can produce a lot of valuable output.

The Spotlight Effect is a cognitive bias that often leads us to overestimate the extent to which our actions or perceived flaws are noticed and remembered by others. It's well demonstrated by this quote "You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do."

Eleanor RooseveltSelf-importance is a trap because the moment we start to think that we actually matter is the moment when things start to go wrong. The truth is that you are supremely unimportant and nothing matters. All of man's striving is for nothing; all effort is wasted. To realize that everything is meaningless is tremendously liberating since it then leaves us completely free to create our own lives and ignore the plans that others have for us.

It typically refers to individuals who are perceived as unwittingly supporting or promoting a cause or ideology that may be against their own best interests.

The only limits we have are the limits we believe. Wayne Dyer You can't escape from a prison until you recognize you are in one. People who have chosen to live within the limits of their old beliefs continue to have the same experiences. It takes effort and commitment to break old patterns Bob ProctorIf you raise your standards but don't really believe you can meet them, you've already sabotaged yourself. You won't even try; you'll be lacking the sense of certainty that allows you to tap the deepest capacity that's within you... Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what's possible and impossible and what we can and cannot do. They shape every action, every thought and every feeling that we experience. As a result, changing our belief systems is central to making any real and lasting change in our lives.

They feel frustrated - but haters are losers. It's not good to feed this aspect. It's more intelligent to be constructive. Paulo Coelho People are at the mercy of internet trolls who bring people who are excellent in their fields down to their level. They're diminishing someone's flame to make theirs brighter. David HayeYou get the odd person [in social media] that will write something nasty and the trick is not to engage with them on any level. Boy George Social media is driving the culture, it drives peoples minds literally. Aeriel Miranda The goal of social media is to turn customers into a volunteer marketing army. Jay BaerThey appear to have become so attached to their outrage that they are even more outraged that they won't be able to be outraged anymore. Barney FrankDon’t believe everything you read on the internet. Abraham LincolnCuriosity pulls people into the scam. Frank StalloneDistractions are everywhere. And with the always-on technologies of today, they take a heavy toll on productivity. One study found that office distractions eat an average 2.1 hours a day. Another study, published in October 2005, found that employees spent an average of 11 minutes on a project before being distracted. After an interruption, it takes them 25 minutes to return to the original task, if they do at all. David RockWe're comparing our behind-the-scenes with everybody else's highlight reel. Steven FurtickIf you struggle to break up with your phone for even two minutes, maybe it’s time to take action and treat yourself to a digital detox. Even if it’s just one hour a day, it can make a world of difference to your well-being and sanity. Jennifer LiuMostly, I think people are fake. Well, what do you expect? The fake world we live in conspires to make us all fakes. Benjamin Alire SaenzI don't care how much money you have, free stuff is always a good thing. Queen LatifahThere's a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don't have to think, you just have to get more information - gets very dangerous.

Because only when you operate from strengths can you achieve true excellence. Peter Drucker In most cases, strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. A strength in one situation is a weakness in another, yet often the person can't switch gears. It's a very subtle thing to talk about strengths and weaknesses because almost always they're the same thing. Steve Jobs that Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don't know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress. Paramahansa Yogananda It is great to be introspective, self-analysis can be useful, but only if it results in action.Joe Sacco We can't make people better by trying to eliminate their weaknesses, but we can help then perform better by building on their strengths.

Psychologist Dr. David McClelland It’s a fact of life that some people hold us back, while other propel us forward. That’s just the way it is, so you might as well accept it and learn how to deal with it instead of wishing that reality was different. Maarten van Doorn These days, people are keen to emphasize that everyone lives in his or her own bubble. In that case, we might as well try to make sure that our bubble is the one that rises highest — the one that makes us reach our goals. Maarten van Doorn Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you. John WoodenIn life, we will always encounter difficult people. Don't allow them to frustrate you or steal your joy.
