Quote by Fitzhugh Dodson

First you write down your goal; your second job is to break down your goal into a series of steps, beginning with steps which are absurdly easy.

First you write down your goal; your second job is to break

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of setting clear goals and breaking them down into smaller, manageable steps. By first identifying a specific goal, individuals can then strategize and create a roadmap to achieve it. The quote suggests that one should start with small, achievable tasks, even if they may appear absurdly easy at first. This approach helps build momentum, boosts motivation, and gradually propels individuals towards their larger objective. Breaking down the goal into simple steps makes the process less overwhelming and enables a sense of progress and accomplishment along the way.

It's easy to let life deteriorate into making a living instead of making a life. It's not the hours you put in, but what you out into the hours that count. Learn to express rather than impress. Expressing evokes a me too attitude while impressing evokes a so what attitude.

Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid... He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.

Raymond Chandler

The girl with dark hair was coming towards them across the field. With what seemed a single movement she tore off her clothes and flung them disdainfully aside. Her body was white and smooth, but it aroused no desire in him, indeed he barely looked at it. What overwhelmed him in that instant was admiration for the gesture with which she had thrown her clothes aside. With its grace and carelessness it seemed to annihilate a whole culture, a whole system of thought, as though Big Brother and the Party and the Thought Police could all be swept into nothingness by a single splendid movement of the arm.
