A tolerance for mundane tasks is fundamental to greatness, according to leadership transformation expert John Amaechi OBE.
"If you want to do these brilliant, exciting, dreamy things … you suddenly realise how much absolute boring dull grind goes into it," he writes.
"When I first started playing basketball my first coach had me doing pivot drills – when you stop, grab the ball, turn, turn back, pass the ball – I did that endlessly and I could never understand why this boring thing was important."
That all changed when he entered his first game and realised how vital pivot skills are.

McKinnon is the first person ever identified with a condition called severely deficient autobiographical memory. She knows plenty of facts about her life, but she lacks the ability to mentally relive any of it, the way you or I might meander back in our minds and evoke a particular afternoon. She has no episodic memories—none of those impressionistic recollections that feel a bit like scenes from a movie, always filmed from your perspective. To switch metaphors: Think of memory as a favorite book with pages that you return to again and again. Now imagine having access only to the index. Or the Wikipedia entry.

In years past, travelers could plan around “fire season,” steering clear of the hottest, driest times of year. But climate change is warming up the spring, lengthening the summer and drying out soil and vegetation, leading to more frequent, destructive wildfires.

“Perfection is impossible. In the 1526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. Now, I have a question for you.
What percentage of points do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%.
In other words, even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play. When you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.

The evolutionary basis of revenge stems from our ancestors’ desire to maintain order. When acts of aggression, like murder and theft, were met with similar acts, the original perpetrator would be discouraged from committing such violence again. On a primal level, this makes sense: Hurt the person hurting you so they can’t hurt you any further

Revenge is pleasurable on a biological level, too. In studies, when people perform retaliatory acts of aggression, there is activity in brain regions associated with reward. However, the satisfaction is short-lived. “In general, that’s how reward works,” says David Chester, an associate professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. “You get it for a little while, and it fades very quickly.”

Once I, Zhuang Zhou, dreamed that I was a butterfly and was happy as a butterfly. I was conscious that I was quite pleased with myself, but I did not know that I was Zhou. Suddenly I awoke, and there I was, visibly Zhou. I do not know whether it was Zhou dreaming that he was a butterfly or the butterfly dreaming that it was Zhou. Between Zhou and the butterfly there must be some distinction. This is called the transformation of things.

What if there emerged a society where everyone was perfectly respectful and nonviolent and everyone was equal? What if no one lied or hurt each other? What if corruption did not exist? What would happen? Would conflict cease? Would stress evaporate? Would everyone frolic in fields picking daisies and singing the “Hallelujah” chorus from Handel’s Messiah?6 Durkheim said no, that in fact the opposite would happen. He suggested that the more comfortable and ethical a society became, the more that small indiscretions would become magnified in our minds. If everyone stopped killing each other, we wouldn’t necessarily feel good about it. We’d just get equally upset about the more minor stuff.

To fear death, gentlemen, is no other than to think oneself wise when one is not, to think one knows what one does not know. No one knows whether death may not be the greatest of all blessings for a man, yet men fear it as if they knew that it is the greatest of evils. And surely it is the most blameworthy ignorance to believe that one knows what one does not know.1 SOCRATES
