The opposite of addiction is not sobriety but connection (friendships). - Johann Hari

Where possible, focus on things that are worthwhile. - Andrew Kingdom

Writer’s Block? Think about things differently by: Adding a new communication; add in random text from any source at hand; take time to relax, help a stranger, rewrite in a different format (e.g. story as a screenplay), don’t get bogged down, put down the basics and move on. – Andrew Kingdom

Even experts know less than 1% of everything that can be known about life, the universe and everything. To think otherwise is to not even be aware of your own ignorance. — Andrew Kingdom

Being an expert in one field does not guarantee expertise in another field. For example, understanding the science of combustion doesn’t automatically make me good at cooking food on a fire. — Andrew Kingdom

No work is ever worth a divorce — Andrew Kingdom

You can’t truly love others if you’re not caring for yourself. It’s like how airlines say, ‘Put on your own mask first, then help others.’ — Andrew Kingdom

Intelligence has little to do with a person’s value as a human. — Andrew Kingdom

True life transformation isn’t the fruit of human effort—it’s not something owed or earnt—but a reliable divine gift, granted freely through grace. — Andrew Kingdom

A.I. is a tool made by humans to assist humans; don’t confuse it with actual intelligence, the two are not the same and will never be so. — Andrew Kingdom

Un-deception is the successful resolution of misapprehension, that is, the changing of your mind concerning a misbelief. This is not the same as trying to change someone else’s mind. — A. Kingdom on C.S. Lewis on J. Austen

I.Q. tests are intended as a measure of a person’s mental ability to solve certain problems within a very narrow mindset and domain knowledge, which generally excludes: a person’s full intellect, emotional quotient, physical intellect, spatial intellect, spiritual intellect, love, kindness, ethics, mental alertness and many other factors. In my experience the tests often assume a single correct answer, whereas in reality there are often many ways to answer the question, depending how you consider it. — Andrew Kingdom

The Role of Emotional Context in Effective Decision-Making and Communication:

Use your connections (contacts) to find the back door into an organisation rather than worrying about getting stuck in the front door. - Temple Grandin

Add new things (especially technology) only if they clearly reduce workload—each addition must simplify or “short-circuit” processes to offset the complexity and management it brings. - Andrew Kingdom

Thoughts and ideas are like food - we need them to live but there are junk thoughts and heathy thoughts. - Andrew Kingdom

Computers (and thus AI) are mainly an aid to assist and extend human thinking and memory. - Andrew Kingdom

A person who struggles and moves forwards will generally go much further in life and achieve more than a person who never had to struggle at all. - Andrew Kingdom

If a lack of effort isn’t the problem, more effort is not the solution. If we want to (achieve) more, we often need to do less. - Jessica McCabe

The fallback rule of systems success is: Always use the best tool for the job. Don’t force a tool to do a different job; build tools to survive tougher jobs than anticipated and to fail safely when they break. - Andrew Kingdom
