More From Christopher Lasch

In most sports, your brain and your body will cooperate... but in rock climbing, it is the other way around. your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible, to cling to the wall and not get any higher. you have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.
Sports Wall Climbing
The brain "fills in" the missing information from the blind spot. notice what you see in the location of the dot when it's in your blind spot. when the dot disappears, you do not perceive a hole of whiteness or blackness in its place; instead your brain invents a patch of the background pattern. your brain, with no information from that particular spot in visual space, fills in with the patterns around it. you're not perceiving what's out there. you're perceiving whatever your brain tells you.

For me, life is about continuously being hungry. it's meaning is not simply to just exist or to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. strength does not come from winning. your struggles develop your strengths. when you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. we all have great power. that power is self-faith. there's really an attitude to winning. you have to see yourself winning before you win. and you have to be hungry. you have to want to conquer.
Attitude Struggle Moving
Essentially, there's a universe inside your brain. the number of connections possible inside your brain is limitless. and as people have learned to have more managerial and direct creative access to their brains, they have also developed matrices or networks of people that communicate electronically. there are direct brain/computer link-ups. you can just jack yourself in and pilot your brain around in cyberspace-electronic space.

She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.

When i started it [non for profit], i thought, i'm not smart enough to do this. i had no experience in management, no experience in administration, no experience in nonprofit; but then this phrase came into my head: i only have to be smart enough to find people who are smarter than me; i only have to be smart enough to recognize who knows more than me.
