The Hard Things
“The proof you can do hard things is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself. Our self-image is composed of historical evidence of our abilities. The more hard things you push yourself to do, the more competent you will see yourself to be.”

On Madness, Fear, and Living Yours
“Don’t let your fears become boxes that enclose you. Open them out, feel them and turn them into the greatest courage you are capable of. Confusion is the route to all the clarity in the world.”
Paulo Coelho · 1 min read

On Networks, Happiness, and the Fog We Live In
“The dentist wanted to be a model, a model wanted to be a politician, the politician wanted to be a writer, the writer wanted to be a farmer. And even when I did meet someone who was doing what he had chosen to do, that person’s soul was still in torment. So I’ll ask you again: ‘Are you happy?’”

The Hunger
“It is not always the availability of resources that has resulted in successful inventions. It was the desire to figure out why that made it possible.”
Outside the research.
Workout
One hour where the only problem is the next rep. The discipline shows up everywhere else.
Movies
Not for the plot — for the framing. A director’s silence says more than most papers.
Travelling
I like places that have not been optimised yet. Rough edges, real food, no presentation.
Research
The last thing that still surprises me. You start with a question and end up somewhere unexpected.
