Albert Einstein Quote

 

 

 

 

I posted this quote in my Facebook Group Create Loyal Fans for Your Brand. Click here. The group is for entrepreneurs, writers, and speakers. I have room for more members if you’d like to join.

For those of you who are not in my FB Group, here is the quote:

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want & you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”

Please like or comment if you agree or disagree.

William Faulkner Quote About Competing With Yourself

 

 

 

Nobel laureate William Faulkner believed it was impossible for an author to write a perfect story. He admitted he never was satisfied with his work. It always could be better.

In a 1956 interview with Faulkner in The Paris Review, he  said about being a novelist:

“Ninety-nine percent talent … ninety-nine percent discipline … ninety-nine percent work. He must never be satisfied with what he does. It never is as good as it can be done. Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.”

Rather than compare our work to accomplished, prize winning authors, competing with ourselves is more productive.  How can I make this piece better? Is this story better than the previous one I wrote?

I’ve won awards for several short stories, yet when I reread them, I cringe because I find ways I could revise them. Never being satisfied with our writing is a good thing according to Faulkner because we will continue to improve our craft.
