Quotes to ponder:
"Focus is not an object you can grasp. It's not an achievement in an app that, once held, is yours to keep."
"Like our goals, the road stretches on as far as we can see but as shallow as we'd like to stop."
"You simply cannot force a motorcycle to do what you want it to, whether moving or standing still. You have to guide it. You have to work with it."
