A quotation from Samuel Johnson
Even the acquisition of knowledge is often much facilitated by the advantages of society: he that never compares his notions with those of others, readily acquiesces in his first thoughts, and very seldom discovers the objections which may be raised against his opinions; he, therefore, often thinks himself in possession of truth, when he is only fondling an errour long since exploded. He that has neither companions nor rivals in his studies, will always applaud his own progress, and think highly of his performances, because he knows not that others have equalled or excelled him. And I am afraid it may be added, that the student who withdraws himself from the world, will soon feel that ardour extinguished which praise or emulation had enkindled, and take the advantage of secrecy to sleep, rather than to labour.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic

I do not #run, but have been meaning for years to add some #anaerobic activity in my life...
A colleague of mine shared about his latest #running achievement (10Km).
I was tempted to share how he inspired me and to commit myself - with my team as witnesses (common psychologic trick)..
However, I decided to keep quiet - and to rely on pure #selfMotivation to drive myself to try running a bit.
My #selfDiscipline succeeded and this week I managed to #run twice - nearly a mile each time!
Gj me!

Don’t loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club, and if you don’t get it you will nonetheless get something that looks remarkably like it.
