| 5af8981 | En Harvard y otras universidades, estudiaron la importancia de la actitud en el exito de las personas. Se descubrio que la actitud era mucho mas importante que la inteligencia, la educacion, el talento especial o la suerte. De hecho, se llego a la conclusion de que hasta un 85% del exito en la vida se debe a tener una actitud positiva y educable, mientras que solo un 15% se debe a la capacidad. | fear-nothing inspirational-attitude live-your-life success-in-life take-risks | John C. Maxwell | |

| 6de4a25 | The greatest handicap a person has is not realizing his potential. | limitations personal-growth | John C. Maxwell | |
| 301047a | To become a 360-Degree Leader, you will have to pay a price. You will have to give up other opportunities in order to lead. You will have to sacrifice some personal goals for the sake of others. You will have to get out of your comfort zone and do things you've never done before. You will have to keep learning and growing when you don't feel like it. You will have to repeatedly put others ahead of yourself. And if you desire to be a really .. | John C. Maxwell | ||

| 831ce21 | The greatest enemy of learning is knowing | John C. Maxwell | ||
| d31b4f6 | Partly because it is such a complex process, reading is not just a habit our a skill, it's a deeply satisfying emotional experience. Something in us knows that the slimmest insights, the trust wisdom, the most enduring knowledge come through this channel. The spleen word rushes by and is gone, but the written word remains. It ensures. It can be consulted over and over again. Forever. How wise then to surround oneself with books and magazin.. | Arthur Gordon Those Little Black Marks quoted in Norman Vincent Peale (c 1984) p. 56. | ||
| 84733c6 | There is only one way to respect the substance of any purported God-given moral edict: consider it conscientiously in the full light of reason, using all the evidence at our command. No God that was pleased by displays of unreasoning love would be worthy of worship. | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| 4ed1613 | I might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound--if I can remember any of the damn things. --Dorothy Parker | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| 2eea17c | We have all heard the forlorn refrain "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!" This phrase has come to stand for the rueful reflection of an idiot, a sign of stupidity, but in fact we should appreciate it as a pillar of wisdom. Any being, any agent, who can truly say, "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!" is standing on the threshold of brilliance. We" | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| c5bcce3 | It is worth recalling that it took brave pioneers many years to overcome the powerful taboo against the dissection of human cadavers during the early years of modern medicine. And we should note that, notwithstanding the outrage and revulsion with which the idea of dissection was then received, overcoming that tradition has not led to the feared collapse of morality and decency. We live in an era in which human corpses are still treated wit.. | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| 261c9ff | Anything that is usefully and voluminously predictable from the intentional stance is, by definition, an intentional system, and as we shall see, many fascinating and complicated things that don't have brains or eyes or ears or hands, and hence really don't have minds, are nevertheless intentional systems. Folk psychology's basic trick, that is to say, has some bonus applications outside the world of human interactions. | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| ebe0989 | Our manifest image, unlike the daisy's ontology or Umwelt, really is manifest, really is subjective in a strong sense. It's the world we live in, the world according to us. | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| 2666355 | Some philosophical research projects -- or problematics, to speak with the more literary types -- are rather like working out the truths of chess. A set of mutually agreed-upon rules are presupposed -- and seldom discussed -- and the implications of those rules are worked out, articulated, debated, refined. So far, so good. Chess is a deep and important human artifact, about which much of value has been written. But some philosophical resea.. | Daniel C. Dennett | ||

| f3832ea | In this section I have tried to demonstrate that Darwinian thinking does live up to its billing as universal acid: it turns the whole traditional world upside down, challenging the top-down image of designs flowing from that genius of geniuses, the Intelligent Designer, and replacing it with the bubble-up image of mindless, motiveless cyclical processes churning out ever-more robust combinations until they start replicating on their own, sp.. | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| fcc572a | Some people would much prefer the infinite regress of mysteries, apparently, but in this day and age the cost is prohibitive: you have to get yourself deceived. You can either deceive yourself or let others do the dirty work, but there is no intellectually defensible way of rebuilding the mighty barriers to comprehension that Darwin smashed. (p.25) | delusion infinite-regress religion | Daniel C. Dennett | |
| 789c05c | If I burst into a house and yell to all assembled, "Put on the kettle!" I have uttered an imperative English sentence, but some will probably infer that I would like to have a cup of tea or other hot beverage, while another may further surmise that I feel myself at home here, and may in fact be the occupant of this house. Yet another person present, a monoglot Hungarian, may infer only that I speak English, and so does whomever I am address.. | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| b464605 | As Dawkins goes on to say (p. 316), "The one thing that makes evolution such a neat theory is that it explains how organized complexity can arise out of primeval simplicity." This is one of the key strengths of Darwin's idea, and the key weakness of the alternatives. In fact, I once argued, it is unlikely that any other theory could have this strength:" | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| 59c9350 | T]he idea of treating Mind as an effect rather than as a First Cause is too revolutionary for some-an "awful stretcher" that their own minds cannot acommodate comfortably. This is as true today as it was in 1860, and it has always been as true of some of evolution's best friends as of its foes. For instance, the physicist Paul Davies, in his recent book , proclaims that the reflective power of human minds can be "no trivial detail, no mino.. | evolution natural-selection purpose | Daniel C.

| 5923f95 | We can now expose perhaps the most common misunderstanding of Darwinism: the idea that Darwin showed that evolution by natural selection is a procedure for producing Us. Ever since Darwin proposed his theory, people have often misguidedly tried to interpret it as showing that we are the destination, the goal, the point of all that winnowing and competition, and our arrival on the scene was guaranteed by the mere holding of the tournament.
