| 63444dd | He says "I love you" first, even when we respond with an indifferent shrug or the equivalent of a passing, "Oh, thanks." And in this we discover why it might be hard for us to move toward others: the one taking the initiative in the relationship--the one who loves most--is the one who risks humiliation." | Edward T. Welch | ||

| 7ed8e20 | This cub wants a video game, and I hate to say it, but this game is so complicated it's easier not to play it! And here is one that's even worse-- cubs simply do not need it-- a virtual pet that up and bites if you fail to feed it. And worst of all, this cub wants this innovative cutie, a miniature canine named Little Doggie Dooty, with an item purchased extra that's positively super, a high-tech battery-operated electronic pooper-scooper.. | Stan Berenstain Jan Berenstain | ||
| e14e44b | Regal Black Swan told me that in this world of personalities, there is always a duality. I had interpreted it as good versus bad, slavery or freedom, conformity and its opposite. But that is not the case. It is not black or white; it is always shades of gray. And most important, all the gray is moving in a progressive pattern back to the originator. I teased about our age and told him I needed another fifty years just for comprehension. | Marlo Morgan | ||

Todos los miembros de la tribu reciben este reconocimiento mediante una fiesta especial, pero no tiene nada que ver con la edad ni los cumpleanos; con ella se reconoce el caracter unico de ese talento y su contribucion a la vida.

| 2837c69 | Literalmente nos habian despojado de todo cuanto llevabamos excepto de los trapos con que nos cubriamos el cuerpo. Los pequenos regalos recibidos, que me hubiera llevado a los Estados Unidos y legado a mis nietos, habian sido destruidos. Tenia ante mi una eleccion: reaccionar con lamentaciones o con resignacion. ?Era un intercambio justo, mis unicas posesiones materiales a cambio de una leccion inmediata sobre el desapego? Me dijeron que pr.. | experiencia materialismo objetos posesiones | Marlo Morgan | |
| 4669e09 | In Australien ist man der amerikanischen Zeit um siebzehn Stunden voraus. Man fliegt also buchsnachstablich in den nachsten Tag hinein. Wahrend des Fluges erinnerte ich mich daran, dass wir sicher sein konnten, dass es die Welt am nachsten Tag noch geben und alles in Ordnung sein wurde! Auf dem Kontinent, der vor uns lag, war es schon >morgen<. | Marlo Morgan | ||

| f46fe52 | Edie enters the Factory in her otherworldly daze. She is at once natural and a creation of pure artifice. Everything about her - her tights, her long legs, her high heels, her preternaturally skinny body, her huge eyes - seems to drift upwards as if the cigarette she is smoking were made of helium. | David Dalton | ||
| 0438ad1 | In so far as prophecy has been already fulfilled, that fulfillment has been a literal one. Take the predictions regarding the Messiah. His being born of the house of David; of a virgin; at Bethlehem; being carried down to and brought out of Egypt; His healing diseases; His entering Jerusalem on an ass; His being betrayed by one of His disciples; His being left by all His familial friends; His being smitten, buffeted, spit upon; His side bei.. | Dalton Lifsey | ||
| 3f0cf6a | Very few experts actually measure their performance over time, and they tend to summarize their memories with anecdotes. They are right sometimes and wrong sometimes, but the anecdotes they remember tend to be more flattering to them. | Douglas W. Hubbard | ||
| 7e95a6e | Why do we care about measurements at all? There are just three reasons. The first reason--and the focus of this book--is that we should care about a measurement because it informs key decisions. Second, a measurement might also be taken because it has its own market value (e.g., results of a consumer survey) and could be sold to other parties for a profit. Third, perhaps a measurement is simply meant to entertain or satisfy a curiosity (e.g.. | Douglas W. Hubbard | ||

| e3f7520 | If it's really that important, it's something you can define. If it's something you think exists at all, it's something you've already observed somehow. * If it's something important and something uncertain, you have a cost of being wrong and a chance of being wrong. * You can quantify your current uncertainty with calibrated estimates. * You can compute the value of additional information by knowing the "threshold" of the measurement where.. | Douglas W.
