Good morning—hello, Thursday, January 2, 2025. I hope this day turns out to be exactly what it is meant to be. Of course, that might sound like a strange statement because, in truth, every day is precisely the day it is meant to be. Still, I can imagine that for some people, certain days are so difficult that it’s hard to believe those days were ever "meant to be." Out of respect for anyone experiencing such a hard day, I’ll simply leave it at that.
Below are some quotes from my Readwise stream that stood out for me.
Quotes
"There are, in fact, only two ways to beat the Curse of Knowledge reliably. The first is not to learn anything. The second is to take your ideas and transform them." (Chip Heath, Dan Heath, Made to Stick)
"One in nine people around the world depends on the money sent by migrants." (dandc.eu, In Countries of Residence as Well as Origin, Policymakers Should Engage With Migrant Communities)
"The time is very urgent – we must slow down." (Bayo Akomolafe, The Times Are Urgent: Let’s Slow Down • Writings – Bayo Akomolafe)
"The gorilla study illustrates two important facts about our minds: we can be blind to the obvious, and we are also blind to our blindness." (Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow)
