Everyone thinks this way at some point. The important thing is to power through and get to learning. If you really don't have the time Let Me Handle Your Analytics.
Aldous Huxley
Image
You all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspired saying of Our Ford's: History is bunk.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The traveller's-eye view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Defined in psychological terms, a fanatic is a man who consciously over-compensates a secret doubt.
