NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 689

 

  • ·       May I never cease to recognize You in my life.

    ·       "It requires a great and noble character, having started out wrong, to turn about and go right. All too often one's own mind tends to justify continuance in the path of error when once it is entered upon."

    ·       Ultimately, it comes down to taste. It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring those things into what you’re doing. - Steve Jobs

    ·       “The experience of physical stimuli would seem to depend primarily on their physical characteristics—chocolate tastes good, getting slapped hurts, and snuggling is pleasurable. This research examined, however, whether physical experience is influenced by the interpersonal context in which stimuli occur […] The results confirm that good intentions—even misguided ones—can sooth pain, increase pleasure, and make things taste better. More broadly, these studies suggest that basic physical experience depends upon how we perceive the minds of others.”

    ·       “I’ve found that what most refer to as “assuming” is actually listening to fears and/or indulging laziness. Unfortunately, those who listen to fears tend to be too afraid to ask the questions that can clarify their assumptions because they’re afraid to find out that their assumptions are correct—even though their assumptions are often incorrect. So they continue to assume what isn’t true.” ~ Charles Lyell
