| 47d87e9 | In 1935, when there were no other programs, the founders of AA, Bill Wilson and Dr. Robert Smith, stepped up to the plate and took action to help a crippled population. All credit for the establishment of their wonderful, life-saving group goes to them and to those who came after them who have continued the tradition. However, there are not among the estimated two or three million who attend twelve-step meetings. | change philosophy 12-steps passages-malibu addiction-treatment addiction-treatment-center alcohol-abuse chris-prentiss drug-abuse twelve-step change-the-world tradition | Chris Prentiss | |

| 08d5137 | If I were to create a word that more accurately describes alcoholism and addiction, I would say it was dependencyism. Sounds silly, doesn't it? Yet it's no sillier than the word alcoholism.

| ef62428 | Clinton got out there and created a new narrative on the economy, which took some of the needles out of Obama," says Republican strategist Mike Murphy. "It was the biggest single number-moving event in the entire campaign. It was devastatingly important to the Obama guys. And he put him back in business." (It also helped, Murphy adds, that "the Romney campaign was totally incompetent.") In 2000, Clinton had famously faulted Al Gore for not .. | Daniel Halper | ||
| e38a386 | To my babies, Merry Christmas. I'm sorry if these letters have caught you both by surprise. There is just so much more I have to say. I know you thought I was done giving advice, but I couldn't leave without reiterating a few things in writing. You may not relate to these things now, but someday you will.

| aaf7a91 | Don't Let Resentments Fester Many things that go wrong are caused by misunderstandings or screw-ups. These lead to resentments that, if left unaddressed, can fester for years. But if people are given a forum in which to express their frustrations about the screw-ups in a respectful manner, then they are better able to let them go and move on. I have seen many cases where hurt feelings lingered far after the project, feelings that would have.. | Ed Catmull | ||

It is easy to say you want talented people, and you do, but the way those people interact with one another is the real key.

| a3822de | My rule of thumb is that any time we impose limits or procedures, we should ask how they will aid in enabling people to respond creatively. If the answer is that they won't, then the proposals are ill suited to the task at hand. | Ed Catmull | ||
| f59b1ac | John coined a new phrase: "Quality is the best business plan." What he meant was that quality is not a consequence of following some set of behaviors. Rather, it is a prerequisite and a mindset you must have before you decide what you are setting out to do. Everyone says quality is important, but they must do more than say it. They must live, think, and breathe it." | Ed Catmull | ||
| 1027b62 | When Brad Bird was directing The Incredibles, he had a recurring anxiety dream. In this dream, he was driving down a winding and precarious stretch of highway in a rickety old station wagon, with no one else in the car. Apparently, it was up to him to pilot the vehicle. "But I was in the backseat!" he says. "For some reason, I still had a steering wheel, but my visibility was terrible because of where I was sitting. Basically, all I could d.. | Ed Catmull | ||

And while I liked the idea of being in charge, I went to work every day feeling like something of a fraud. Even in the early years of Pixar, when I was the president, that feeling didn't go away. I knew many presidents of other companies and had a good idea of their personality characteristics. They were aggressive and ex.. | Ed Catmull | ||
| 1b0c807 | To understand this first event, you need to know that we rely on Unix and Linux machines to store the thousands of computer files that comprise all the shots of any given film. And on those machines, there is a command--/bin/rm -r -f *--that removes everything on the file system as fast as it can. Hearing that, you can probably anticipate what's coming: Somehow, by accident, someone used this command on the drives where the Toy Story 2 file.. | Ed Catmull | ||

"The conundrum is how to become mature, how to take on responsibility and become reliable while at the same time preserving your childlike wonder. People have come up to me many times, as I'm sure has happened to many people in this room, and said, 'Gee, I wish I could be creative like you.

No lo puedo evitar, pero de todas las peliculas de Pixar uno de mis momentos favoritos es aquel en que Anton Ego, el hastiado y temido critico gastronomico de Ratatouille, entrega su resena del Gusteau's, el restaurante dirigido por nuestro heroe, la rata Remy. Con la voz del gran Peter O'Toole, Ego dice que el talento de Remy <|
