Smorgasbord

This is different.  I was looking at the email from James Clear and each thing I saw I thought “that would be good to write about.”  So in the end I am including the lot.  In some cases there may be a slight variation.
The first three are ideas from him.  The next two are quotes from others.  Lastly there is a question.
"Beware the student of one teacher. A good idea spirals into dogma when it gets applied to everything and stretched beyond the areas where it is useful. Remain open and embrace a lot of teachers."
(When the teacher is God I tend to listen.  I do however think it is so true for other.  I can tell when someone has embraced another person’s ideas only to the exclusion of valid thoughts of others.  I find this disconcerting for the reasons stated above.)
"Your best performances will come when you are working in a way that is a full expression of you. The work becomes a natural display of your personality. This is when you not only get better results, but also love the activity — because in doing the craft, you feel alive."
"People can sometimes be held hostage by their expectations. They have a dream of something they would like to achieve or a path they intend to follow, but their mindset falls apart when things don't work out how they had hoped.
The key is to reach for an extremely high bar, but to be adaptable enough [to see] the failures, disappointments, and defeats [as] fuel [and not a reason to stop] Give your best effort.
Everything you are given is material for the next move. Everything."
Physician and educator Maria Montessori on leading others:
"The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist." But this holds true for leadership in general—give people space and they flourish."
Physicist and chemist Marie Curie on the connection between fear and knowledge:
"Nothing in life is to be feared, [but] understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less."
A question from Nick Cammarata to inspire action:
"If I had 10x the agency I have, what would I do?"
That last one is a variation of a question I ask myself.  “If I had unlimited resources available to me, what would I do?”
Anyway that is where I am at this morning.  I have some things to do and I hope to veg this arvo and this evening.  Then back into it.
