Floodlights and Goalposts

An online commonplace book

Aren’t you in awe?

Don’t think about why you question, simply don’t stop questioning. Don’t worry about what you can’t answer, and don’t try to explain what you can’t know. Curiosity is its own reason. Aren’t you in awe when you contemplate the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure behind reality? And this is the miracle of the human mind–to use its construction, concepts, and formulas as tools to explain what man sees, feels and touches. Try to comprehend a little more each day. Have holy curiosity.

– Albert Einstein

As read from Mastery, by Robert Greene.

So much fun is found in doing the thing, reading the thing, sketching the thing, for it’s own sake. We can want the output so bad that the joy of the input can be overlooked. Reminds me of Seth’s blog post: Hobby mindset.
