[Quote No.68416] Need Area: Fun > Experiences
"We must know that we can have two kinds of happiness in this life, according to two different ways, one good, one best, which lead us thereto: one is the active life, and the other the contemplative [thinking, imagination, books, etc]! The latter (although by the active life, as has been said, we may attain to great happiness) leads us to the highest felicity and blessedness, as the Philosopher (Aristotle) proves in the tenth of the Ethics." - Dante Alighieri
Quote from his work The Banquet (Il Convito) (Il Convito, 4. 17. 16). The name was probably suggested by the Banquets of Plato and Xenophon and was written at the close of his life, after the Divine Comedy.

[Quote No.68540] Need Area: Fun > Experiences
"[Morality and ethics - equal individual freedom from force and fraud for ourselves and others; 'live and let live!' so long as not hurting another's physical person or property nor using force or fraud - will result in great human diversity of thought, behavior and experience, including individual, subjective truth and opinion (but not including objective, absolute, scientific as in universally repeatable and generally agreed truth and facts) therefore:- ] Variety [so long as it's not hurting another's physical person or property nor using force or fraud] is the very spice of life..." - William Cowper

[Quote No.68608] Need Area: Fun > Experiences
"[Focus on what you want and distract from what you don't want. This develops absorbed attention, called 'flow', by Hungarian-American psychologist Robert Csikszentmihalyi, or 'peak experience' by American psychologist Abraham Maslow:-] Attention is not just another cognitive function. Attention is how our world comes into being for us. The altered nature of attention can appear to abolish parts of the world, collapse time and space [and] eviscerate emotion." - Iain McGilchrist

"[Focus on what you want and distract from what you don't want. This develops absorbed attention, called 'flow', by Hungarian-American psychologist Robert Csikszentmihalyi, or 'peak experience' by American psychologist Abraham Maslow:-] ...the world we experience is shaped by how we direct our attention. For reality is too complex, and we are too limited, to attend to but a sliver of all that exists. Attend to one sliver of reality and we experience one type of world, alter our attentional capacities, change what we attend to, and we change the very world we experience. ...there are many possible worlds for each of us to experience. Some of these worlds are conducive to a life well lived, others are not. " - academy of ideas

[Quote No.68629] Need Area: Fun > Experiences
"[Focus on what you want and distract from what you don't want:-] That your experience largely depends on the material objects and mental subjects that you choose to pay attention to or ignore is not an imaginative notion, but a physiological fact. When you focus on a stop sign or a sonnet, a waft of perfume or a stock-market tip, your brain registers that 'target,' which enables it to affect your behavior. In contrast, the things that you don't attend to in a sense don't exist, at least for you.
All day long, you are selectively paying attention to something, and much more often than you may suspect, you can take charge of this process to good effect. Indeed, your ability to focus on this and suppress that is the key to controlling your experience and, ultimately, your well-being." - Winifred Gallagher
This is a quote from his book 'Rapt: Attention and the Focused Life'.

[Quote No.68867] Need Area: Fun > Experiences
"[Curiously asking questions, exploring, learning and growing can be fun - absorbing, attention and focus grabbing and 'flow' inducing:-] One thing I can definitely say after fifteen years of QI [the show he developed and produced about 'Quite Interesting' facts in a funny game-show-like format] research is that nothing is as it appears; nothing is as simple or obvious as it seems. Everything has an underside – an engine room as it were – something hidden deep inside it which is completely astonishing. ... When I started QI, only about five per cent of people that I talked to understood what it was really getting at. They said: 'Oh, it's a game', but I would say: 'No, it’s a principle'. The principle at the core of QI is that literally everything in the universe without exception is interesting – if looked at long enough or closely enough or from the right angle. This is a philosophy that really works. Over and over again we have proved that something that looks dull is not dull. It works for anything – any country, any fruit, any town, any house, any person!!!" - John Lloyd
He is a television producer and presenter who has been responsible for some of the most innovative and influential UK comedies of the last thirty years, in honour of which he received, in 2011, a CBE for services to broadcasting. In the 1970s and '80s, he worked on programmes such as 'The News Quiz', 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy', 'Not the Nine O’Clock News', 'Spitting Image' and 'Blackadder', and went on to direct a series of award-winning adverts, including the Barclaycard series featuring Rowan Atkinson. But in the 1990s his career was interrupted by a bout of deep depression which lasted for several years. In 2002, he returned to television, making the pilot of 'QI' (standing for 'quite interesting'), the popular comedy panel game which is now in its 15th series on the BBC.
But QI is more than a television programme; it is a different way of engaging with knowledge which has its own philosophy and manifesto. As an independent research company, it produces radio shows, podcasts, live theatre, DVDs and books (the latest of which, '1,423 QI Facts to Bowl You Over', appeared this October). Now it is poised to enter the realm of education: at the 2017 Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference in Belfast, John revealed that a new QI approach to learning, based upon inspiring pupils with quite interesting facts, will be piloted at a number of UK schools in the coming year. This quote comes from when he spoke at his offices in London's Covent Garden, where he and his tiny army of 'elves' beaver away at uncovering the extraordinary bits of information which power the QI enterprise. For example, in 2011, Australia minted a giant 'A$1 million' gold coin. It weighed over a ton and used gold worth A$52 million. Queen Victoria had an irrational fear of bishops. Lenin owned nine Rolls-Royces. Borneo has the world's largest number of species of mango but not the largest number of mango trees. Bananas are used to make kimonos. [Refer https://besharamagazine.org/arts-literature/a-quite-interesting-approach-to-education/ also refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrITnpQZIT8 for a little more about the QI philosophy.]

[Quote No.69026] Need Area: Fun > Experiences
"[A story about how to use your awareness and memory to enjoy your life more: focus your attention and memory on those things that are 'good' and you want, and distract your attention and memory from those things that are 'bad' and you don't want.] A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the SAND: Today my best friend slapped me in the face.
They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a STONE: Today my best friend saved my life.
The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, 'After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?'
The other friend replied: 'My grandfather told me to write my hurts in the sand and to carve my blessings in stone.'" - Anonymous

"[Truth and understanding nature unlocks an indescribable joy and awe, even before contemplating the power and potential it unleashes for the good of all; Science is wonderful:-] We do not ask what hope of gain makes a little bird warble, since we know that it takes delight in singing because it is for that very singing that the bird was made, so there is no need to ask why the human mind undertakes such toil in seeking out these secrets of the heavens. ... And just as other animals, and the human body, are sustained by food and drink, so the very spirit of Man, which is something distinct from Man, is nourished, is increased, and in a sense grows up on this diet of knowledge, and is more like the dead than the living if it is touched by no desire for these things." - Johannes Kepler
