The Top Idea in Your Mind

http://paulgraham.com/top.html " I think most people have one top idea in their mind at any given time. That's the idea their thoughts will drift toward when they're allowed to drift freely. " " Someone who does you an injury hurts you twice: first by the injury itself, and second by taking up your time afterward thinking about it." " Turning the other cheek turns out to have selfish advantages." " There are two types of thoughts especially worth avoiding. One is thoughts about money.
