A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force

A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force Sir Issac Newton Isaac Newton We often learn Newton's first law of motion in the context of billiard balls on pool tables. But the same law is readily observed in "man as machine". I tend to react to men in the same, limited manner in which I tended to react to my own father.

Focus Posted on July 18, 2011 by Ann Brennan A few months back I read a post by an elite athlete. He had been asked what he thinks about when he runs. His answer surprised me. “I think about my form. I scan my body for things that are out of whack. And I try to correct those as I go.” Thinking about it now, it makes sense but at the time, I was speechless. If I had had to answer that question, it would have been easy. I think about everything. I write articles as I go. I create new characters for stories I would like to write.
