Quotable quotes

my 2024 new years resolution is to find a lot of money on the ground

I got an email from alignable or linkedin, basically one of those clickbait messages trying to get me to go onto their platform to generate more traffic. It had some promise to make me more productive if I joined their particular interest group. I felt a vague annoyance at this, as it had the air of something I "should" do. And it made me think:

What does it mean to be "productive?" Basically it means doing shit for other people. That's it.
 
“When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone, and of good cheer – say traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep; it is on such occasions, that ideas flow best and most abundantly. Whence and how they come, I know not; nor can I force them.”

– Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
 
They call us the elderly...

We were born in the 40-50-60’s.
We grew up in the 50-60-70's.
We studied in the 60-70-80's.
We were dating in the 70-80-90's.
We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.
We venture into the 80-90’s.
We stabilize in the 2000’s.
We got wiser in the 2010’s.
And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.
Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.
From live matches on the radio to black and white TV, color TV, and then to 3D HD TV.
We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu, and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, and petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.

Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as "essentials," people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.

We've kind of "Seen-It-All"!
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE."

A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!
 
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”

― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

This is the second time this week that I came across a specific quote that I took it to heart, only to see, in a matter of hours, that same quote presented to me in a different arena/format.

It's probably coincidence but it sure feels like more than that.
 
“The purpose of today's training is to defeat yesterday's understanding.”

― Miyamoto Musashi
 
“Accept the fact that all events occur for a reason, and that it is within your capacity to see this reason as positive.”

— Robert Greene
 
“Everything we experience in life has a spiritual significance. No event or circumstance is ever random, arbitrary, or a coincidence. Every moment matters.”

― Anthon St. Maarten
