“Attitude is an accurate monitor of where we fall on the spectrum of pride and humility.”
“Alma is in a painting phase, and the people she paints are all the color of mold, look like they ve just been dredged from the bottom of a lake. Her last painting was of you, slouching against the front door: only your frowning I-had-a-lousy-Third-World-childhood-and-all-I-got-was-this-attitude eyes recognizable.”
“Really, Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy... Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that dis-empowers them or one that can literally save their lives.... gone through many different phases of Destines and that s what made me to pen down... hope it won t screw-up me again.... Something beyond love...”
“Watu hawaheshimu wewe ni nani au unatoka wapi. Wanaheshimu nguvu ya matendo yako.”
“Yes! Yes! There s the attitude. Where was that girl during the race? Off getting sushi?”
“Making bad decisions is a part of life. Blaming others for your bad decisions is immature.”
“Good Seeds! Gratitude is the Greatest Attitude that has no Substitute.”
“Attitude is 100% under your control – (yours to choose, use or lose, as they say) Happiness, fulfillment and satisfaction in a life ALWAYS and ONLY come as a consequence of some other activity. That is you don’t just create ‘happy’ or ‘satisfied’ – you have to be doing something with your life that as a byproduct creates these states. That’s it. Told you it was simple. Alright, I admit, writing about how to create a ‘successful life’ is easy – because to create something out of your life is 99.9% Mental Focus and 50% ( as Yogi Berra would say and .01% for those of you who are paying attention) -knowing how to get the result and doing it. Writing about it is easy; it’s the doing that’s hard.”
“Confidence is providence”
“Your Majesty, I m afraid everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong, said Major Sir Michael Parker, an impresario for royal events with an expertise in pyrotechnics. Oh good, what fun! she replied with a smile.”
“Į žmones reikia žiūrėti iš aukštai. Būdavo, užgesinu šviesą ir atsistoju prie lango: jie nė neįtaria, kad juos galima stebėti ir iš viršaus. Jie rūpinasi savo priekiu, kartais užpakaliu, bet visi jų triukai skirti metro setyniasdešimties centimetrų ūgio žiūrovui. O ar kas nors kada pagalvojo, kaip atrodo katiliuko formos kepurė žvelgiant iš septinto aukšto? <...> Vieną vakarą man toptelėjo mintis pašaudyti į žmones.”
“The right attitude is everything!”
“You have a responsibility to act for others when you re the only person in a position to do so. It s how you handle it that separates the great from the mediocre.”
“Self-affirm—build yourself up with honest and genuine praise.”
“I kept trying to talk myself out of my second thoughts when they were trying to help me. My advice? When it comes to relationships, second thoughts should be promoted.”
“Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.”
“Stay open to opportunity -- you never know where your next important connection will be made.”
