“Positive affirmations work. For example - ‘Every day in every way I am getting better and better and better’ said dynamically does create results. Do not say ‘I am healed’ if you are not. Instead, say ‘I am healing’. The subconscious mind does not like a lie. It may react and kick back and may even give you a sharp pain just to remind you that you are not yet healed”

“The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone - that is the secret of invention: be alone, that is when ideas are born”
Nikola Tesla
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labour with both hands at sections of time. A schedule is a mock-up of reason and order - willed, faked, and so brought into being; it is a peace and a haven set into the wreck of time; it is a lifeboat on which you find yourself, decades later, still living”
Annie Dillard - The Writing Life
“When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance”

“When people leave this realm and go to the other realms, the vast majority have deep regrets; not so much about what they DID in life, but what they DIDN’T do. There are many challenges and valuable lessons and experiences on this realm that can help us to advance if we make the most of these great opportunities. Don’t miss out and have regrets; be disciplined and unlock your inner potential”

Edward de Bono
“Take violent youngsters. A study was carried out with a follow-up 20 years later. The rate of criminal conviction for those taught creative thinking as a skill was less than a tenth; there was a 90% reduction. Then there were workers under the New Deal (New Labour’s programme to get young unemployed into jobs). The employment rate for those who learned to think went up by 500%. A year later, 96% were still in employment”
Edward de Bono
“Schools waste two-thirds of the talent in society. The universities sterilise the rest”
