You have a lot of free spirits involved.

It's a boost to my spirits to be involved that way. Never do I feel it's a chore to do.

What tipped the scales was that psychology involved working with rats.

We're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going.

It’s not possible to move from one activity to the next at blinding speed and be reflective at the same time. The more complex and demanding the work we do, the wider, deeper and longer the perspective we require to do it well. It’s almost impossible to do that when we create no white space in our lives.

There are some people who will surprise you with their perseverance... People who survive through the tears... Strong spirits who prove you wrong if you make the mistake of betting against them.
