Re: Persistence
A very nice motivational quote, indeed. If I recall correctly, this is by American radio host Ira Glass. It used to be my desktop wallpaper.

Re: Persistence
The interview is indeed very good (I hear it once or twice a year, likewise with Jobs' commencement speech.) This webcomic is also a pretty good sum-up (also take a look to Bill Waterson's, and I'm not linking it directly so everyone can take a good look at the web
)

Re: Persistence
That poster is also applicable to the teaching profession.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

For years I had a poster inspired by the chess game between Max von Sydow and Death from The Seventh Seal as my wallpaper. A few months ago I lightened up:Hushfield wrote:A very nice motivational quote, indeed. If I recall correctly, this is by American radio host Ira Glass. It used to be my desktop wallpaper.
