| 1728226 | Ludwig Wittgenstein, | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 88c9e30 | What you seek is seeking you." --RUMI" | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| ad0653d | The only true voyage would be not to travel through a hundred different lands with the same pair of eyes, but to see the same land through a hundred different pairs of eyes." --MARCEL PROUST" | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 2d4cf5b | My two cents: Excellence is the next five minutes or nothing at all. It's the quality of your next five-minute conversation. It's the quality of, yes, your next email. Forget the long term. Make the next five minutes rock! | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 245ed96 | little part of me dies every time someone tells me they've taken a job as a "steppingstone" to something else, when they clearly aren't invested in it. You have one life to live. Time is valuable. If you're using steppingstones, you're also likely relying on someone else's path or definition of success. Make your own. What are bad recommendations you hear in your profession or area of expertise?" | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 64f6d33 | What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student about to enter the "real world"? Most of the game is about persistence. It is the most important trait. Sure, when you get an opportunity, you have to perform and you have to exceed beyond all expectations, but getting that chance is the hardest part. So keep the vision clear in your head and every day refuse all obstacles to get to the goal." | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 77315bf | You can be a juicy ripe peach and there'll still be someone who doesn't like peaches. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 1181a8e | God will not have his work made manifest by cowards."--Ralph Waldo Emerson" | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 0060496 | Life punishes the vague wish and rewards the specific ask. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 96f09d9 | You have a lot less time than you think, and you're not spending your time the way you think you are. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| a66131b | You can do so much in ten minutes' time. Ten minutes, once gone, are gone for good. Divide your life into ten-minute units and sacrifice as few of them as possible in meaningless activity." -Ingvar Kamprad" | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| f089099 | That cliche you ignored like a throwaway fortune cookie? Suddenly it makes sense and moves mountains | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 641f3f0 | What is the book (or books) you've given most as a gift, and why? Or what are one to three books that have greatly influenced your life? Mastery by George Leonard. I first read this book 20 years ago, after reading Leonard's Esquire article, the seed from which the book grew. Leonard wrote the book to share lessons from becoming an Aikido master teacher, despite starting practice at the advanced age of 47. I raced through its 170-plus pages.. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| d03aa66 | What is the book (or books) you've given most as a gift, and why? Or what are one to three books that have greatly influenced your life? Hands down, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. This book has a magical, activating quality to it. It's the essential no-bullshit guide for anyone who battles self-doubt or struggles to bring any important project to life. I reread it in full at least once a year. But it's also the kind of book that you c.. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 20b50e7 | It's like George always says: being in a rock 'n' roll band is very sexy, even when you're only the keyboard player and your idea of the perfect Saturday night actually amounts to a bubble bath, a Richard Curtis boxset and a seafood linguine. | humour music rock-and-roll | Christopher Russell | |
| 74e3e46 | Unlike Muir and Thoreau, McCandless went into the wilderness not primarily to ponder nature or the world at large but, rather, to explore the inner country of his own soul. He soon discovered, however, what Muir and Thoreau already knew: An extended stay in the wilderness inevitably directs one's attention outward as much as inward, and it is impossible to live off the land without developing both a subtle understanding of, and a strong emo.. | Jon Krakauer | ||
| f28cbb8 | L'ultima scena del tenero Notting Hill offre una descrizione inedita della felicita: Julia Robrts con la testa appoggiata sulle ginocchia di Hugh Grent che legge un libro. Incredibile: si puo aver Julia Roberts sulle ginocchia e leggere un libro. Anzi, a volte si puo averla proprio perche si e capaci di leggere un libro. Quindi leggere un libro non e sempre: a) un lavoro forzato, b) un passatempo da sfigati, c) una pericolosa malattia socia.. | Massimo Gramellini | ||
| fb2b458 | Protesi le labbra verso le sue, ma non dovetti compiere l'intero percorso perche me le trovai addosso a meta strada. Sapevano di bei sogni. | Massimo Gramellini | ||
| 43750c0 | Die Liebe ist ein Ziel, das man zu zweit erreicht, wenn jeder fur sich den Weg dorthin gefunden hat. | Massimo Gramellini | ||
| e05e915 | Die eigentliche Wahl besteht nie zwischen Tun oder Nicht-Tun. Sie besteht vielmehr darin, ob wir diese Wahl aud Angst oder aus Entschlossenheit treffen. | Massimo Gramellini | ||
| b86de9e | Gli amori non finiscono col tempo. Cambiano forma, scavano nuove profondita. E se ci lasciano non e perche sono durati troppo, ma perche a un certo punto hanno incontrato il vuoto. | Massimo Gramellini | ||
| dedfde7 | Prenditi tutto il tempo, ma non lasciare che il tempo si prenda tutto. | life-lessons | Massimo Gramellini | |
| 97e8efb | Non dare retta a chi tesse l'elogio delle vite pianeggianti. Le salire sono trampolini. E a te e sempre piaciuto tuffarti, vero? | Massimo Gramellini | ||
| b9d93c5 | Non e semplice rimanere orfani nel paese dei mammoni. Certo e anche il paese dei vittimisti e la perdita precoce di un genitore, se ben esibita, puo diventare un'aureola o un certificato di impunita. Pero per il ruolo di vittima bisogna esserci tagliati. | orfani vittimismo | Massimo Gramellini | |
| 6ae71b3 | Se un sogno e il tuo sogno, quello per cui sei venuto al mondo, puoi passare la vita a nasconderlo dentro ad una nuvola di scetticismo ma non riuscirai mai a liberartene. | sogno | Massimo Gramellini | |
| 38cf7e5 | Ci vuole una forza d'animo straordinaria per alzarsi dal letto ogni mattino con l'idea che la vita sia una prova e vada affrontata sempre, anche quando si e sicuri di avere subito un'ingiustizia terribile e si ha paura di non farcela. | forza vita | Massimo Gramellini | |
| e9cdb0d | Non essere amati e una sofferenza grande, pero non la piu grande. La piu grande e non essere amati piu. Nelle infatuazioni a senso unico l'oggetto del nostro amore si limita a negarci il suo. Ci toglie qualcosa che ci aveva dato soltanto nella nostra immaginazione. Ma quando un sentimento ricambiato cessa di esserlo, si interrompe brutalmente il flusso di un'energia condivisa. Chi e stato abbandonato si considera assaggiato e sputato come u.. | Massimo Gramellini | ||

| 2f72007 | it was better to leave a mystery outside the door -- something they would expand in their minds, and fear. | Jeff Rovin | ||
| 2b16b9b | The impasse was this: If I let myself speculate even tentatively about that something, if I acknowledged the possibility of a nonhuman agent or agents, some mysterious Other, intervening in my life, could I still call myself an atheist? | god | Barbara Ehrenreich | |
| ba31433 | Most accounts of mystical experiences... insist that the Other in the encounter appears to be "living" or alive, as in "living God." But is it alive in any biological sense? Does it eat and metabolize? Does it reproduce - an option that monotheism would seem to foreclose?" | god living monotheism | Barbara Ehrenreich | |
| 1038126 | Why "revere" the unknowable? Why not find out what it is?" | mystery reverence unknowable | Barbara Ehrenreich | |
| b88409b | A man who is a good lover to his wife is his children's best friend.... Child care is play to a woman who is happy. And only a man can make a woman happy. In deepest truth, a father's first duty to his children is to make their mother feel fulfilled as a woman. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| ec61d53 | That's what "meaning" is--a special additive like salt or garlic that could make even the most fetid piece of meat seem palpable, even delicious." | mysticism | Barbara Ehrenreich | |
| cf9cc79 | Quienes estan haciendo las reestructuraciones despiden a una persona de cada tres y luego ponen un poster inspiracional en el pasillo para tapar la herida psicologica. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| 1885465 | Por ahora, no puedes sino cambiar tu percepcion de la realidad: que de negativa y amarga pase a positiva y afirmadora. Y este fue el gran regalo que le hizo el mundo de la empresa a sus empleados despedidos y a los que se quedaron trabajando el doble: el pensamiento positivo. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| 9c7cb9f | The conventional term is "mystical experience," meaning something that by its very nature lies beyond the reach of language, except for some vague verbal hand-wavings about "mystery" and "transcendence." As far as I was concerned - as a rationalist, an atheist, a scientist by training - this was the realm of gods and fairies and of no use to the great human project of trying to retain a foothold on the planet for future generations." | mysticism philosophy | Barbara Ehrenreich | |
| 24ee897 | la persona que sabe trabajar en equipo es, por definicion, alguien "positivo". Alguien que siempre luce una sonrisa, que no se queja, que no les da demasiadas vueltas a las cosas, y que se somete con buen humor a lo que le pida el jefe." | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| 3ee2205 | Si te basta con una foto chula y una frasecita para motivarte, es que tienes un trabajo muy facil... uno de esos que dentro de poco haran los robots"." | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| 8f03c0f | My religious friends - and my friends were almost all Catholics or Protestants or occasionally something more exotic like Jewish or Greek Orthodox - were convinced that God had a "plan" for us, and since God was good, it was a good plan, which we were required to endorse even without having any idea what it was. Just sign the paperwork; in other words, don't overintellectualize." | god | Barbara Ehrenreich | |
| 888b894 | La gran mayoria de los oficinistas despedidos se tragaron el sapo, como se suele decir, y aceptaron que les dieran pensamiento positivo en vez de la nomina mensual y la seguridad de antes. No tomaron las calles, no forzaron ningun cambio en la politica, no se presentaron en su ex oficina con una pistola. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| e49e14d | El calvinismo y el pensamiento positivo ya se habian visto las caras en el siglo XIX, aunque al segundo se le llamaba entonces Nuevo Pensamiento; cuando volvieron a encontrarse, cerca ya del cambio de milenio, la confrontacion ya no fue publica sino que tomo la forma de batalla silenciosa por el dominio del mercado: la audiencia de television, las ventas de libros y la asistencia a las iglesias. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| 6ff14fd | La nueva teologia positiva ya no se dedica a hacer juicios de valor tajantes ni a contar historias desgarradoras de sufrimiento y redencion: lo que ahora se ofrece en las megaiglesias (y en muchos templos normales) es la promesa de dinero, exito y salud en esta vida, ahora mismo o dentro de muy poco. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| 3942885 | In my experience, any class or assembly restricted to girls was going to be in some way degrading, like the one where we'd been convened to receive the information that from now on our bodies would be producing poisons that would need to be discharged on a monthly basis, through an unspecified orifice. The restriction of the typing requirement to girls suggested some sort of connection between our festering genitals and the need to serve in.. | puberty | Barbara Ehrenreich |
