I'm totally into new age and self-help books. I used to work in a bookstore and that's the section they gave me and I got way into it. I just loved the power of positive thinking letting yourself go.
We virtually never feel our age but thinking that we should can lead to disaster.
I think I'm a bit less inhibited and not thinking too much before speaking. It's not about being shameful I'm just a bit more unabashedly myself because of this thing and it probably started at age 15. I can be around people and say what I think without fear.
I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession I've just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades rather than whether someone's 42 or 47 you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.
We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill... it demands a broader vision capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress.
My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they're going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life I just spend drinking.
I was taught from a young age that I had to serve so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.
Canada has a passive-aggressive culture with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.
Reading after a certain age diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.
