When I was depressed, nobody expected anything of me, nor did I expect anything of myself. I was exempt from life's demands and risks. But if I were to find new life, who knows what daunting tasks I might be required to take on?

Parker Palmer

Stacey Dooley

Bill Nighy

You must always remain master of the situation and do what you please. No school tasks, ah, no! no tasks!

Edouard Manet

If humans are not required to earn a living to be provided survival needs, many are going to want very much to be productive, but not at those tasks they did not choose to do but were forced to accept in order to earn money.

There are two synergistic approaches for increasing productivity that are inversions of each other: 1. Limit tasks to the important to shorten work time (80/20). 2. Shorten work time to limit tasks to the important (Parkinson's Law). The best solution is to use both together: Identify the few critical tasks that contribute most to income and schedule them with very short and clear deadlines.

Tim Ferriss

The most daunting challenges of our times, from climate change to the ageing population, demand an entrepreneurial state unafraid to take a gamble.

Rutger Bregman

Given the daunting challenges that we face, it's important that president elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one.

Valerie Jarrett

My idea here is that, inasmuch as certain cognitive tasks and principles are tied to nature's laws, these tasks and principles are indifferent to language, culture, gender, or the particular mode of information that is provided.

Edward Tufte

I think of death as some delightful journey that I shall take when all my tasks are done.
