BuckyWorks by Jay Baldwin

First look for problems that need to be solved. That requires you to be comprehensively alert to everything, not just certain things that interest you. It you are ever bored, it’s a sign that an important part of your mind is asleep. . . . Learn all that there is to know about a problem. . . . Attend to what nature is trying to do – opposing nature is futile, inefficient, and is an old mode way of regarding the world
