I was surprised, as always, be how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.

"They say every atom in our bodies was once a part of a star…Maybe I’m not leaving…maybe I’m going home."

It’s like the people who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.

Talent can be a nice thing to have sometimes. You look good, attract attention, and if you’re lucky, you make some money. Women flock to you. In that sense, having talent’s preferable to having none. But talent only functions when it’s supported by a tough, unyielding physical and mental focus. All it takes is one screw in your brain to come loose and fall off, or some connection in your body to break down, and your concentration vanishes, like the dew at dawn. A simple toothache, or stiff shoulders, and you can’t play the piano well. It’s true. I’ve actually experienced it. A single cavity, one aching shoulder, and the beautiful vision and sound I hoped to convey goes out the window. The human body’s that fragile. It’s a complex system that can be damaged by something very trivial, and in most cases once it’s damaged, it can’t easily be restored. A cavity or stiff shoulder you can get over, but there are a lot of things you can’t get past. If talent’s the foundation you rely on, and yet it’s so unreliable that you have no idea what’s going to happen to it the next minute, what meaning does it have?

Personal Development as Life Lessons from each Personality Type

Everybody you meet knows something you don’t know, there’s always something good to learn from everybody, you just have to look for it. We must learn from one another because we have different strengths and weaknesses. Feed your strengths, face your weaknesses.

Every personality type has their own strengths, due to their cognitive functions. In this post I’m going to list some life lessons that are natural for each cognitive function. Because listing each personality type would take to much and would be pretty much similar for some of them, especially the ones with the same dominant function.

Peter Parker doesn’t matter anymore. Peter Parker was the nerdy and awkward teen outcast who got to be a superhero. This was relatable to comic book readers (and later cartoon viewers) who self identified as outsiders and who didn’t see themselves in the other larger than life superheroes like Captain America. Parker might have worked in the 1960s and the decades that followed but in 2015, it’s hard to see a cisgender, straight white guy as a visible outcast. Stories and characters need to evolve which is why we got an African-American Annie as opposed to the red-head we all know. The red-headed Annie no longer makes sense for the story that needed to be told TODAY, when a black girl is more likely to embody who Annie is in relation to the society that surrounds her.

Colours have a beauty of their own which must be preserved, as one strives to preserve tonal quality in music. It is a question of organization and construction which is sensitive to maintaining this beautiful freshness of colour … Colour is never a question of quantity, but of choice.

Quote Source: Matisse’s essay “The Role and Modalities of Colour”, 1945.
