| e16f808 | Sometimes you have to fight for what you want,' Chip said, his expression set. 'Sometimes the fight is all you get. | fighting-to-survive | Margaret Peterson Haddix | |
| a846c92 | I can't go back to being who I used to be!' Hadley looked down at him sympathetically. 'None of us can, kid.' he said. 'That's the point. You get what you get. Life changes you. Time travel or no, you always have to build on what you live through. | life life-changing | Margaret Peterson Haddix | |
| f340d5d | Sence ask nedir?" diye sordum Jed'e. Dalip gidiverdi. "Ask olaganustu bir seydir. Daglari yerinden oynatir; bir bebegin cigliklarini dindirir. Her insanin kalbinde bir yerlerde saklidir. Faka altindan da kiymetlidir. Satin alinamaz, satilamaz ya da calinamaz. Yasam kaynagimizdir." (syf. 107)" | Margaret Peterson Haddix | ||
| 4360502 | Simdi benden de guce ya da kendi kararimi verme hakkina sahip olmasizin yalnizca bir opucuk veya tatli bir fisiltiyla sevisip, kadinlarla erkeklerin yatak odalarinda yaptiklari diger tum seyleri yaparak ikna gucumu kullanmam mi isteniyordu? Maalesef bunu dusunmek bile midemi bulandiriyordu. (syf. 50) | Margaret Peterson Haddix | ||
| 87c4c7a | The rewards are worth far more than the risks. | Margaret Peterson Haddix | ||
| 3afd6ce | Love is a wonderous thing. It moves mountains and stills a baby's cries. It beats inside every human's heart, yet is more precious than gold. It cannot be bought or sold or stolen. It keeps us alive. | Margaret Peterson Haddix | ||
| bdc1c17 | In the struggle to cure syphilis in the first decade of the century, Paul Ehrlich concocted a drug, 606, that worked by poisoning Treponema pallidum, the spirochete that causes syphilis. It was called 606 because before it Ehrlich concocted 605 other drugs, none of which worked. Ehrlich, presumably, experienced 605 defeats but persisted. | Martin E.P. Seligman | ||
| b8711b5 | The optimists and the pessimists: I have been studying them for the past twenty-five years. The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault. The optimists, who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world, think about misfortune in the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its ca.. | Martin E.P. Seligman | ||
| 60a276f | made a New Year's resolution for 2009: to take 5 million steps, 13,700 per day on average. On December 30, 2009, I crossed the 5 million mark, and got "Wow!" and "What a role model!" from my Internet friends." | Martin E.P. Seligman | ||
| fc09c40 | Some people can put their troubles neatly into a box and go about their lives even when one important aspect of it--their job, for example, or their love life--is suffering. Others bleed all over everything. They catastrophize. When one thread of their lives snaps, the whole fabric unravels. It comes down to this: People who make universal explanations for their failures give up on everything when a failure strikes in one area. People who m.. | Martin E.P. Seligman | ||
| a480aa2 | Lo que pienso sobre la meta de la psicologia ha cambiado desde que publique mi ultimo libro (Authentic Happiness, 2002) y, aun mejor, la psicologia misma esta cambiando. He pasado la mayor parte de mi vida trabajando en la venerable meta de la psicologia de aliviar el sufrimiento y desarraigar las condiciones incapacitantes de la vida. La verdad sea dicha, esto puede ser un fastidio. Tomarse a pecho la psicologia de la desdicha, como hay qu.. | Martin E.P. Seligman | ||
| be25ef1 | Years later, when I got to college, I learned about an important theory of psychology called Learned Helplessness, developed by Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman. This theory, backed up by years of research, is that a great deal of depression grows out of a feeling of helplessness: the feeling that you cannot control your environment. | Frederick P. Brooks Jr. | ||
| 69c7873 | Third, you learn to make different explanations, called reattributions, and use them to dispute your automatic thoughts. | Martin E.P. Seligman | ||
| be43cec | Fifth, you learn to recognize and question the depression-sowing assumptions governing so much of what you do: | Martin E.P. Seligman | ||
| 26edbbb | I wish I was here, or I wish I was there...' In our age of global travel we are all potential heirs to the simile of Hera's flight. | Robin Lane Fox | ||
| 50e4d22 | It was during a strike when I first saw hate on a man's face. Hate is an awful thing. It gets inside you and makes you do things you swear you'd never do. | Homer Hickam | ||
| 84197d3 | As Elsie showered, she realized she had learned something. She was attracted to the kind of man Denver was. He drove fast and was dangerous and handsome but, she reflected, he was also, in his own way, needy. If he wasn't showing off to a pretty girl, it was Elsie's guess he was fairly miserable. Elsie was happy she didn't have to put up with such a man all the way to Florida. Homer, despite all his many flaws--mostly, she had to concede, h.. | Homer Hickam | ||
| c4330d9 | My agent in Miami told me you were coming. I like to keep up with who's coming to my island, especially government and railroad men. Typically, I don't like either one but considering your girl here and your car and the fact that you have an alligator with a rooster on his back, I would guess you might be at least interesting. Name's Ernest. Some people call me Hem." After a brief pause he added, "As in Hemingway." Homer" | Homer Hickam | ||
| 8bfa154 | Most things take more time than we believe they will. But, now, what about love? Will love take more time than you think?" "I don't know anything about love." "That is true," she agreed. "Yet, every mile you travel on this journey is for this thing you don't know anything about." Homer" | Homer Hickam | ||
| 2fe042e | Let me find you. If you don't, I will still look. If you won't, I will still look. If you can't, I will still look. It is the looking that finds the love, Not the finding. Homer | Homer Hickam | ||
| 2fe2753 | So, you met Steinbeck," mused Hemingway over his port after the women had left. "It is a fateful peculiarity that you might meet him and me at virtually the same time. To what do you attribute that, Homer?" "I don't know, sir," Homer answered. "Just the way it worked out, I guess." "Don't you believe it. There are no coincidences in life. Although the big God of the Hebrews might be the greatest of them, I believe there are small gods who w.. | Homer Hickam | ||
| edc69c2 | There's a plan. If you're willing to fight it hard enough, you can make it detour for a while, but you're still going to end up wherever God wants you to be. G | Homer Hickam | ||
| c537d81 | We had to start somewhere, either succeed or fail, and then build what we knew as we went along. | learning science trial-and-error | Homer Hickam | |
| e645ea7 | At that moment, it occurred to Elsie that it was men who caused most of the problems in the world and that included the Captain, Homer, Malcolm, Karl Marx, and even Buddy Ebsen. It made her angry, that women had not only to bear the children and raise them, but also put up with men who only saw the world through a man's eyes. | Homer Hickam | ||
| d2e83a9 | The rejuvenating effects of sleep are due to man's temporary unawareness of body and breathing. The sleeping man becomes a yogi; each night he unconsciously performs the yogic rite of releasing himself from bodily identification, and of merging the life force with healing currents in the main brain region and in the six subdynamos of his spinal centres. Unknowingly, the sleeper is thus recharged by the cosmic energy that sustains all life. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| fa26409 | Moral: Look fear in the face and it will cease to trouble you. "Another" | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 5cb5d82 | Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, which was Steve Jobs's favorite book. 9. | Vishen Lakhiani | ||
| 4f03ada | The Yoga system of Patanjali is known as the Eightfold Path. 9 The first steps are (1) yama (moral conduct), and (2) niyama (religious observances). Yama is fulfilled by noninjury to others, truthfulness, nonstealing, continence, and noncovetousness. The niyama prescripts are purity of body and mind, contentment in all circumstances, self-discipline, self-study (contemplation), and devotion to God and guru. The next steps are (3) asana (rig.. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 0559159 | Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action.. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 287e73f | Some people try to be tall by cutting off the heads of others! | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| f0306e4 | Softer than the flower, where kindness is concerned; stronger than the thunder, where principles are at stake." There" | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 4071e9a | The weakling who has refused the conflict, acquiring nothing, has had nothing to renounce. He alone who has striven and won can enrich the world by bestowing the fruits of his victorious experience. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 93bf139 | Read a little. Meditate more. Think of God all the time. Reading is important for the mind. There is much to be learnt from the words and experiences of others. Once you have read, don't just hop over to the next book. Take some time to let the words be processed inside you and let them lead you. Meditate after each book you read so that you truly digest it whole. | Sarah Roosevelt | ||
| 0c414ce | Dios no hace ciertamente distincion alguna entre lo "importante" y lo "no importante", no vaya a ser que, por falta de un alfiler, !El cosmos se derrumbre!" | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 497cc6e | My mother once tried to frighten me with an appalling story of a ghost in a dark chamber. I went there immediately, and expressed my disappointment at having missed the ghost. Mother never told me another horror tale. Moral: Look fear in the face and it will cease to trouble you. "Another" | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 803dd68 | It is not easy to criticize others accurately and kindly until you know that you can first criticize yourself perfectly. When you can clearly picture the faults of others and look at those faults with a sympathetic attitude, as if they were your own, then you are correct in your criticism. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| d9a75d8 | It is the Spirit of God that actively sustains every form and force in the universe; yet He is transcendental and aloof in the blissful uncreated void beyond the worlds of vibratory phenomena," Master explained. "Saints who realize their divinity even while in the flesh know a similar twofold existence. Conscientiously engaging in earthly work, they yet remain immersed in an inward beatitude. The Lord has created all men from the limitless .. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 61a3eb6 | In the pursuit of my investigations I was unconsciously led into the border region of physics and physiology. To my amazement, I found boundary lines vanishing, and points of contact emerging, between the realms of the living and the non-living. Inorganic matter was perceived as anything but inert; it was athrill under the action of multitudinous forces. "A universal reaction seemed to bring metal, plant and animal under a common law. They .. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| ae0b9e0 | The sun shines equally on diamond and charcoal, but one has developed qualities that enable it to reflect the sunlight brilliantly, while the other absorbs all the sunlight. Emulate the diamond in your dealings with people. Brightly reflect the light of God's love. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 55c6ba6 | Hatred travels through the ether. If someone is broadcasting hatred, and you are tuned to that hatred, you will get it; but if you are tuned to love, no matter how many hateful vibrations are sent, you will not get them. You must cultivate love in your heart, for love is the magnet that draws souls to you and it is the dagger that destroys hatred. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| ea74dbe | JUDGMENT Whenever you talk against another person for the love of gossip or through force of habit, remember, you will be judged by your Heavenly Father in the same way. Whatever you give out, the same will you attract. If you peddle the weaknesses of others, the Divine Law will mysteriously bring about the publicity of your own inner faults. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 646b703 | Judge ye not others; judge yourself." If you love to talk loudly about the faults of others, then satisfy that lust by loudly talking about your own secret faults, and see how you like it even for a minute. If you cannot stand one minute's publicity about your own faults, then you must not rejoice in exposing others." | Paramahansa Yogananda |
