'If you try to calm [the mind], it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline, you have to practise it.' Steve Jobs
