As soon as you feel stressed, realise that you
don’t have to feel that way. Stress requires
two things: first, that something bad is going
to happen; and second, that when it happens
it will be awfu

Nobody wakes up in the morning and says,
“Today I’m going to be obnoxious, rude, ag-
gressive, or impulsive.” When people behave
that way, it’s because, from their perspec-
tive, each so-called negative trait has a posi-
tive counterpart that’s just as powerful.
Be water
Wisdom seemed
to me all about
gnomic say-
ings and cryptic
aphorisms that
expressed un-
testable ideas or
gave vague ad-
vice, such as ‘Be
like water’ (sorry
Bruce Lee).
“So when Montaigne does it, it’s ‘wisdom through introspection’, but when I do it, it’s ‘sitting on my arse’?”

Memory proper, or secondary memory, is the
knowledge of a former state of mind after it
has already once dropped from consciousness.
The knowledge of it as past is essential. An
image in the mind is not enough. If the image
be there, but we do not refer it to the past, it
is not memory. The past fact must be recog-
nised as past, and this recognition is a new
mental act, distinct from the simple reproduc-
tion of the image.”

The perfect person uses their mind like a
mirror. It grasps nothing. It regrets nothing.
It responds but does not keep.”
