Erich Fromm on Human Roles and Personality
“People can play many roles and be subjectively convinced that each one is their true self. In reality, however, they play each role based on their own ideas of what those around them expect of them. And for many people—if not most—the true personality is completely overshadowed by the false one.”
Erich Fromm

Muhammad Ali Quote on Impossibility and Possibilities
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing.”
Muhammad Ali

Daniel Kahneman Quotes: Why the Illusion of Control Is Dangerous!
“The illusion that one has understood the past feeds the further illusion that one can predict and control the future. These illusions are comforting. They reduce the anxiety that we would experience if we allowed ourselves to fully acknowledge the uncertainties of existence. We all have a need for the reassuring message that actions have appropriate consequences, and that success will reward wisdom and courage. Many business books are tailor-made to satisfy this need.”
Daniel Kahneman
