1. “There is another option – one people rarely cling to – embrace the madness. Interestingly enough, the people I know who do this best are the ones whose lives are the most chaotic of all. They’re my friends whose husbands are serving overseas. They’re the women I know who are raising special-needs children. They’re the single mamas working three jobs. I believe it’s because they learned a long time ago that there is beauty in the chaos, as well as freedom in not trying to fight against the tide.”
Rachel Hollis
Chaos, Beauty, Resilience, Life Strength, Adaptation
3. “Any entrepreneur who wants to stay sane needs to let go of the silly notion that challenges are scary. Challenges never stop coming, so you’d better learn to love them and thrive on them. Every struggle is an opportunity to grow and improve.” Patrick Bet-David Entrepreneurs, Challenges, Growth Mindset, Resilience, Adaptation
8. “People wanted me to do a CD-ROM of 'Hitchhiker's,' and I thought, 'No, no.' I didn't want to just sort of reverse-engineer yet another thing from a book I'd already written. I think that the digital media are interesting enough in their own right to be worth originating something in.” Douglas Adams Creativity, Technology, Adaptation, Innovation, Digital Media
15. “I see now that this has been a story of the West, after all – Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to Eastern life.” F. Scott Fitzgerald Regional Identity, Adaptation, Cultural Differences, Self-reflection, American Culture
26. “It is not necessarily those lands which are the most fertile or most favored in climate that seem to me the happiest, but those in which a long struggle of adaptation between man and his environment has brought out the best qualities of both.” T.S. Eliot Adaptation, Struggle, Environment, Human Resilience, Ecological Harmony, Societal Development
27. “We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value – a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.” T.S. Eliot Adaptation, Value, Testing, Uncertainty, Progress, Judgment
29. “If we are suffering illness, poverty, or misfortune, we think we shall be satisfied on the day it ceases. But there too, we know it is false; so soon as one has got used to not suffering one wants something else.” Simone Weil Suffering, Contentment, Human Desire, Adaptation, Psychological Insight, Happiness
