From a fellow typist
- Stop taking it personally
Anyone getting offended about typists "attacking" long quotes need to stop taking things so personally. Don't act like you are better for actually loving longer quotes. Some of us don't want to practice. Some of us just like the feeling of typing and find it satisfying.

- Delayed gratification
Do you do whatever you want? Do you watch movies and shows every day? Do you delay useful stuff that you need to do, and instead get busy with something "fun"? Then, my friend, you need to know about delayed gratification vs. instant gratification. Ask yourself, before getting busy with any work, is it useful? Does it require active focus or passive focus? What are the gratifications I would get from this? And for each day, make a reasonable balance between the two types. Stay useful my friend.

- The Stamina of Elite Oarsmen
Men as fit as you, when your everyday strength is gone, can draw on a mysterious reservoir of power far greater. Then it is that you can reach for the stars. That is the way champions are made.

- Muscle Memory
What really helped me improve my typing speed is focusing more on accuracy. The more I type correctly, it builds up my "muscle memory" to the point that I don't have to look at my fingers to make sure they are properly placed! That in turn helps my SPEED!

- Life purpose
Who wants to work a dead end job? Not having any free time to do anything other than work. Boring, right? The question is, what do you need to do to get out of the rat race? That is the ultimate question in which I have no answer.

- A Farewell To Arms
But after I had got them out and shut the door and turned off the light it wasn't any good. It was like saying Goodbye to a statue. After a while I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain.

- Types of Robotic Arms
There are six types of robotic arms. The cartesian robot works on three linear axes. The SCARA has two arms that unfold and a vertical piston. An articulated robot is the kind everyone is used to seeing in a factory. A cylindrical robot is a post with an arm that spins and extends. The polar robot has an extending arm in a socket. And last is the delta robot which looks like an insect and is hard to describe.

It was all in front of me when it hit me suddenly, my coffee lost kick being everybody's cup of tea. All my life I tried to be like you, but there's no stopping me now. No stopping me now.

- Lady Dimitrescu's Private chambers
There you are... All this for a child who isn't even here. You ungrateful, selfish wretch. You come into my house, you lay your filthy man-hands on my daughters, and now you even try to steal my property. How dare you... Rest while you can, because I will hunt you, and I will break you!

- Maidens
All flower's, all flower's growing up so high. We all pretty maids and we all have to die. Excepting little Mary she's the only one. Oh, what a shame, Oh what a shame... Never look at her again!
Robin Hanson
- Some book
Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather, but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus we don't like to talk or even think about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain." Such an introspective taboo makes.

Wilma and John made merry and just vanished. He told people they'd found perfect bliss. Love just got him good and consumed him. Crazy man, really. That Wilma had captured him romantically! Today, everyone knows John never found comfort. Really, bliss can be overrated, tiring, boring.

- Just Keep Typing
I like typing and I do typing tests when I'm bored on occasion. I really like how this site tracks my WPM, as well as my accuracy, and averages them. It's pretty nice to see my average speed and accuracy go up.

- A little typing tip
When I'm typing on this site, depending on my state of mind, I eventually start making mistakes, or find long quotes daunting. This negatively affects my typing speed and accuracy. The more my typing speed and accuracy decline, the more frustrated I get. So... a little typing tip. When you find yourself in this situation, only focus on writing the next word and nothing else. Do it well. Do it fast. Then move on to the next one after that. Nothing else matters.

- How International Law Works
There is nothing to stop a legal argument continuing forever, simply switching from ascending to descending categories endlessly. Of course, legal arguments do not go on forever. But their resolution is not a result of the internal logic of the concepts, but represents interpretation backed by force.

- Clean Elvis Pt. 2
I battle aliens from outer space. They got one eye right in the middle of their face. I grab my laser gun, I know my place. Somebody has to save the human race. And I will always love you. It seems hopeless, but wouldn't you know, they got a weakness and they let it show; they can't jump and they're a little bit slow. When I say World War II, I mean the video. And I - help me, Elvis! I - come on now Elvis! I can't help falling in love with you.
Frank Herbert, Dune
Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.
