Moleskine:
Martial Arts saying – “If you master the art, you’ll always be able to fight. But if you only focus on fighting, you’ll miss the art.” Figure out the passion, the purpose and the deeper meaning behind what you do. Step out of the frame and see the whole picture. Ask yourself how this applies to various aspects of life – work, family, F3, etc.
