Some people simply discovered that the transition from productivity to stillness requires passing through a stretch of feeling they've been avoiding for years, and the extra hour of work is cheaper than the ten minutes of silence. - Silicon Canals
Many work late to avoid confronting uncomfortable emotions, not just to be productive.

Magnetic people are those who listen actively rather than those who dominate conversations.
