More From Joan Didion

We see that there are two different kinds of...societies: (a) parasitic societies and (b) producing societies. the former are those which live from hunting, fishing, or merely gleaning. by their economic activities they do not increase, but rather decrease, the amount of wealth in the world. the second kind of societies, producing societies, live by agricultural and pastoral activities. by these activities they seek to increase the amount of wealth in the world.

We talk about social service, service to the people, service to humanity, service to others who are far away, helping to bring peace to the world - but often we forget that it is the very people around us that we must live for first of all. if you cannot serve your wife or husband or child or parent - how are you going to serve society? if you cannot make your own child happy, how do you expect to be able to make anyone else happy? if all our friends in the peace movement or of service communities of any kind do not love and help each other, whom can we love and help?

The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.

If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. don't trust your memory. then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. what a good review-going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. so be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.

Boutique hotels are great, but they get too cute. some hotels have shoe polish. it's like, come on, this isn't 1960. no one's polishing their shoes.

Ideas matter a lot, the underlying ideas that stand behind policies. when you don't have ideas, your policies are flip-flopping all over the place. when you do have ideas, you have more consistency. and when you have the right ideas - then you can get somewhere (reagan had the right ideas).
Ideas Consistency Matter
