In school, we’re taught that the smartest people are the ones who make the fewest mistakes.

If you believe the same things you believed 10 years ago…I’d question why?

Take chances. Make mistakes. Evolve your intellect. How else do you plan on moving forward?

“If you’re still being right about the same shit you were right about 20 years ago, then something tells me you’re either not thinking or you’re just moving papers as product. The whole point of intellectual activity is to come to new conclusions. I don’t see how one can think and keep coming up with the same conclusion…” Neuroscientist Vincent Walsh

A traveler will start out on the right path, but, after being faced with various obstacles, they get turned around. Maybe it’s a slight deviation from [...]

The Paradox of Building Stronger Online Relationships

02.25.2010

There’s a very interesting article by Benedict Carey on the New York Times titled “Evidence that Little Touches Do Mean So Much.” Technically, it’s an article that has absolutely nothing to do with social media, yet I feel that it is extremely relevant. Essentially, the article discusses a few different studies that indicate that physical [...]
