Two thoughts from Cal Newport

“If you don’t produce, you won’t thrive – no matter how skilled or talented you are.”

“Leave good evidence of yourself. Do good work.”

Christopher Nolan doesn’t have a smartphone.

His assistant manages his emails and he writes everything on a laptop without an internet connection. “I do a lot of my best thinking in those kind of in-between moments that people now fill with online activity”

To everyone affected by the recent earthquakes in Myanmar and beyond—

In the face of such devastation, your pain, your resilience, and your strength matter. The world may move fast, but your loss is not forgotten.

If you or your loved ones have been impacted, know that there are people who care, who grieve with you, and who stand ready to support in any way possible. Your stories, your survival, and your courage are seen, and they matter.

In these moments of uncertainty, hold on to hope. Communities rise from the rubble, and together, we will rebuild—not just homes, but hearts.

Stay strong!

Maladaptive Daydreaming

Daydreaming is often a coping mechanism for people who are often lonely or don't receive a good amount of love in their life, so they make people inside their heads that will love them, so they can feel the right ~Unknown

You lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you're living a different kind of life there. In a world that's inside you.
~Haruki Murakami

it’s infinitely more fun to be a relentless cheerleader for the things you love than to spend your life and energy yelling at the things you dislike

I find, when you're an optimist, life has a funny way of looking after you.

Ever heard of Christopher Nolan's lost gem?

Before Inception and Interstellar, before even Memento, Nolan made a short film called Doodlebug (1997). A psychological thriller, it follows a man desperately trying to kill a tiny creature in his apartment—only to discover a chilling truth.

We wondered… what if Doodlebug was reimagined in anime style? 👀

We’ve done exactly that—stay tuned. The link drops soon.

learning is like a colour wheel

if all you could see was black and white, the world would be bland

each time you learn something new, you're adding colours to your intellectual palette

the more you learn, the more colourful the world becomes

what you know determines what you see in the world

She can’t shake the feeling—eyes on her, shadows trailing her steps, an unspoken presence lingering. She lives alone in the apartment... or does she?

Watch on YouTube here: The Apartment ( Dropping more Motion comics from the series soon)

Motion comic conceptualized, animated, and created on @morphic.

American psychiatrist Irvin Yalom wrote about awakening experiences—events that shake us from default routines, crack our defensive barriers, and open new possibilities.

Some of them can be major, such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, war, and illness.

Others can be referred to as “a sort of petite existential shock therapy”—sobering thoughts that lead you to reconsider how you are really living.

It took a combination of both to reawaken my consciousness.

I see now, the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

"To fund his golfing ambitions, McIlroy's parents took on extra jobs. Gerry worked 100 hours a week; he cleaned toilets and showers at a local sports club in the mornings, served as a bartender at Holywood Golf Club from 12 to 6 pm, then returned to the sports club to work behind the bar in the evenings. Rosie looked after Rory during the day, and worked night shifts packaging rolls of tape at a 3M factory in Bangor, County Down. Due to their conflicting schedules, McIlroy's parents rarely saw each other during this period. Gerry later said: "I had no idea what else to do. I’m a working-class man. We wanted to give our only child a chance."

After finding success as a professional golfer, McIlroy bought his parents a house in 2009, and stated: "I’ll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they’ll never have to work another day. I’ll do whatever it takes to look after them."
