Without that you can’t accomplish anything of value, while, if you can focus effectively, you’ll be able to compensate for an erratic talent or even a shortage of it. I generally concentrate on work for three or four hours every morning. I sit at my desk and focus totally on what I’m writing. I don’t see anything else, I don’t think about anything else.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://the99percent.com/articles/7068/Haruki-Murakami-Talent-Is-Nothing-Without-Focus-and-Endurance">Haruki Murakami</a></em>http://jingc.tumblr.com/post/9168695979http://jingc.tumblr.com/post/9168695979Sat, 20 Aug 2011 09:21:52 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq5tjorY1N1qz9qbfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A traffic jam in Beijing, China (<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/gallery/2011/aug/17/24-hours-in-pictures#/?picture=377993363&index=4">The Guardian</a>)</p>http://jingc.tumblr.com/post/9133133901http://jingc.tumblr.com/post/9133133901Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:00:06 -0700<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/27041893?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Fog rolling in over San Francisco.</p> <p>Every time I drive up 280N around sunset time, I wish I could make a similar video, or even take a photo.</p>http://jingc.tumblr.com/post/8918201486http://jingc.tumblr.com/post/8918201486Sun, 14 Aug 2011 13:00:05 -0700
