The secret of success is concentrating interest in life, interest in sports and good times, interest in your studies, interest in your fellow students, interest in the small things of nature, insects, birds, flowers, leaves, etc. In other words to be fully awake to everything about you & the more you learn the more you can appreciate & get a full measure of joy & happiness out of life.
— Excerpt from an altogether beautiful 1928 letter to 16-year-old Jackson Pollock from his dad (via curiositycounts)
