4 quotes I'm obsessed with

Yoooo my G’s 

Hope ya’s wonderful? 

The last 3 months is the hardest I’ve EVER worked in my life. 

Am completely frazzled - spangled - cooked - fried - zonked out - curtains 

The marathon and Supper Club with Rory Sutherland both felt like slaying huge monsters. 

Monsters of Mind. 
Dragons of Doubt. 
Prometheus of Pain. 

A ferociously steep learning curve from green bubba slopes to double diamond black with bare sketchy moguls. 

Alas, 

I am fucking off to do fuck all but drink fuck loads of beer in fucking Portugal and have a fucking gloriously fun time. 

Some delicious quotes I’ve been pondering on recently 

1. “The dead outnumber the living . . . fourteen to one, and we ignore the accumulated experience of such a huge majority of mankind at our peril.” - Neil Ferguson 

• How much of history do we NOT know about?

• The Future lives in the Past. So study the past.

2. “Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in your mind” - Jake Humphrey 

Jake Humphrey is either the best or worst person you’d want chewing your ear off at a Bristol Drum & Bass afters, as morning bird song blossoms, marbles with Four Tet humming through the Argos Bluetooth speaker. 

But I do love his quote. 

Jack Rubin, Purdy & Figg founder says build your brand in decades not years. 

Longer time span = calmer decision making 

3. Japanese Poetry “Haiku” is gorgeous copy writing worth studying. 

Feast your curiosity on this by Kobayashi Issa, 

The Snow is melting/and the village is flooded/with children

WOWCHA! 

4. John Ruskin on Art vs Science: “contrasting art with science…science deals with things as they are in themselves and art deals with things as they relate to humankind”

Sir John Hegarty told me a little summin, summin that stuck in my synapses. 

Art saves lives. 

It really does.
Study it.

Have a wonderful weekend
