People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
? Jim Morrison
Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want.”

Never confuse movement with action.”
? Ernest Hemingway
When we turn around & come face to face with our destiny, we discover that words (spoken) are not enough. I know so many people who are brilliant speakers but are quite incapable of practising what they preach. It's one thing to describe a situation & quite another to experience it.
I realised a long time ago that a warrior in search of his dream must take his inspiration from what he actually does & not from what he imagines himself doing.”
Action expresses priorities.”

Elon Musk says he'll delete the Facebook pages for both his companies
Facebook's mounting image problems hit a whole other orbit on Friday.
Tech icon Elon Musk appeared to delete the official Facebook pages for two of his companies, SpaceX and Tesla.
Musk's moves come days after a whistleblower revealed that a data analysis firm tied to President Donald Trump's campaign had harvested data off Facebook, resulting in widespread criticism and sparking government investigations.
Musk responded to a tweet from WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton, who had initially drawn attention in the tech community for tweeting "It is time. #deletefacebook." Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $16 billion in Feb. 2014. Acton is no longer with Facebook or WhatsApp.
"What's Facebook?" Musk tweeted back.
"Delete SpaceX page on Facebook if you're the man?" another follower demanded.
"I didn't realize there was one. Will do," Musk responded.
As of early Friday afternoon, the Facebook pages for SpaceX and Tesla both resulted in the same error: "Sorry, this content isn't available right now."
Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Facebook has been reeling in the wake of revelations that Cambridge Analytica used harvested information from 50 million Facebook users to micro-target ads to influence voters.
Musk's joins a growing group of people in the tech industry who have taken aim at social media companies and Facebook in particular. Aaron Levie, CEO of cloud computing company Box, recently tweeted: "The days of arguing that (and acting like) tech companies are merely platforms and pipes are behind us."
Marc Benioff, CEO of business software company Salesforce, recently started equating social media to smoking cigarettes.
"First I figured out where the sharp action was, where the guys who had a plan were, the guys who grinded. Took the guesswork out of it."
Take a close look at the people who are successful in your field. What do they do on a regular basis? Then adopt one of their habits and make it your own. Commit to a process, not a goal. Don't just set a goal of creating better customer relationships; commit to calling at least two customers a day to ask how you can better serve them. Don't just set a goal of landing new clients; commit to cold-calling at least two leads every day.
Commit to a process that leads to a goal, and you're much more likely to achieve that goal. Focus on what you will do, not on what you hope will happen.
Never reinvent a wheel when a perfect wheel already exists.

oracle: A person who serves as the mouthpiece of a deity. (Oracular pronouncements in ancient Greece were obscure and ambiguous, and more than one figure in Greek mythology learned that lesson painfully.) The term now refers, by extension, to anyone respected for the sagacity of their opinions or predictions.
