📫 Persistence, Simplicity & Intention – Weekend Words #012
Powerful reminders for a smarter weekend
It’s finally the weekend! Here are three new quotes from this past week’s Book Spotlights — enough to reinforce the essential ideas.
"The most accomplished individuals aren’t always the most talented, but they are almost always the most persistent."
— Angela Duckworth, Grit
"Simplicity isn’t about having less; it’s about having clarity and focusing on what genuinely makes us happy."
— Barry Schwartz, The Paradox of Choice
"Conscious and purposeful experience design is a key to personal and professional success."
— J. Robert Rossman & Mathew D. Duerden, Designing Experiences
