People worry about two things: When will it start, and when will it end. Everything else is noise

Have a bias for action and get started! Then surrender to the momentum once you are up and running.

Reading the first chapter of a new book is like going on a speed date dinner with the author. It’s a conversation where you get to know the author’s voice, how fast they speak, and the language they use. If after a couple of pages I’m not curious or intrigued then it’s time to get the bill and move. Just like life’s too short for shit wine, life is too short for a book that doesn’t suck you in. it’s okay to close the book and find a new one. Don’t suffer through it, there are a limited number of books you can read in your life, so make them count and be picky!

Sometimes attacking fast and quick is victorious and successful. The risk is that you teach the enemy their own strength. There’s always the risk that you waken the sleeping giant. You win the battle and lose the war.

Fern : Bo never knew his parents, and we never had kids. If I didn’t stay, if I left, it would be like he never existed. I couldn’t pack up and move on. He loved Empire. He loved his work so much. He loved being there, everybody loved him. So I stayed. Same town, same house. Just like my dad used to say: “What’s remembered lives.” I maybe spent too much of my life just remembering, Bob.

Life is about the detours and accidents. The flat tires, good food, fights and friends, running for the train, missing the train, reunions, breaking bread. Remembering isn’t living. Living makes memories.
