J. E. Littlewood, a mathematician at Cambridge University, wrote about the law of truly large numbers in his 1986 book, "Littlewood's Miscellany." He said the average person is alert for about eight hours every day, and something happens to the average person about once a second. At this rate, you will experience 1 million events every thirty-five days. This means when you say the chances of something happening are one in a million, it also means about once a month. The monthly miracle is called Littlewood's Law. ↗

الخجل ينبع من توهمك لأهمية مبالغ فيها لنفسك...أنت لست مهماً كما تعتقد..لست مهماً على الإطلاق و ليس هناك شخص متفرغ لمراقبة خلجاتك و أخطاءك..لو أنك أخرجت كسرولة ووضعتها على رأسك فلن يهتم أحد أكثر من ثلاثة دقائق ↗

I used to walk down the street like I was a fucking star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth. ↗
