Quote by Emiko Jean

“Now it rests on a gold foil chest, next to a single iris in a fluted vase. Something about the flower beckons me to study it. The arrangement is perfectly framed against the silk tapestry behind it. The purple petals are simple but elegant. Its placement here seems deliberate, almost ceremonial.”

“Il est également vrai qu'un échange est une transaction dans laquelle les deux contractants gagnent tous deux. Toutes les fois que je fais librement et sans contrainte un échange quelconque, c'est que je désire plus la chose que je reçois que celle que je donne, et qu'au contraire celui avec qui je traite désire plus ce que je lui offre que ce qu'il me rend. Quand je donne mon travail pour un salaire, c'est que j'estime plus ce salaire que ce que j'aurais pu faire en travaillant pour moi-même, et que celui qui me paie prise davantage les services que je lui rends que ce qu'il me donne en retour. Quand je donne une mesure de blé pour une mesure de vin c'est que j'ai surabondamment de quoi manger, et que je n'ai pas de quoi boire ; et que celui avec qui je traite est dans le cas contraire. Quand nous sommes plusieurs qui nous soumettons à faire un travail quelconque en commun, soit pour nous défendre contre un ennemi, soit pour détruire des animaux malfaisants, soit pour nous préserver des ravages de la mer, d'une inondation, d'une contagion, soit même pour faire un pont on un chemin, c'est que chacun de nous préfère l'utilité particulière qui lui en revient, à ce qu'il aurait pu faire pour lui-même pendant ce temps. Nous sommes tous satisfaits dans toutes ces espèces d'échange, chacun de nous trouve son avantage dans l'arrangement proposé.”

“Спомням си как през летните следобеди, които прекарвах там, баба ми, привършила домашната работа, сядаше до прозореца на светло и вадеше от своя скришен сандък една огромна Библия с твърди корици, обвита с тогавашния официозен вестник "Работническо дело" по конспиративни причини. Вече знаех, че комунизмът и Библията никак не се обичаха.”

“Having a sense of humor can be one of your greatest assets and equip you with an undeniable "attractor factor." The benefits extend far past a quick wit and spontaneous laughter. It can help you lower stress levels in yourself and others, diffuse difficult situations, interact more easily, and provide health benefits for improved well-being.”

“Humor lightens our spirits, comforts us through the challenge, brings people together, and helps us to remember the positive sides of life. When your presence and personality bring this welcomed delight and joy to others, you are a pleasure to know and you leave them wanting more.”

“When I was a young and aspiring speaker, I sought mentorship from a man who had been a Dale Carnegie trainer for decades. Eagerly wanting to know how to improve my stage presence and build my career, I contacted Dr. Joe Carnley in Destin, Florida and invited him out to lunch. After we placed our order at the Harbor Docks Restaurant, he dove right in and gave me some of the best advice of my life. He said, “Susan, you have to make them laugh! When they leave your presentations, you want them to feel better and leave happier than when they came in. Help them enjoy your time together.” He continued to describe the magical power that humor has over the human spirit. When we craft humor into our speeches, we can take our audiences on a journey they will never forget. Immediately after our delightful lunch ended, I drove straight to a Books-a-Million store and headed for the humor section. Since I was not a particularly funny person, I needed all the help I could get. For over an hour I stood there reading titles, flipping through funny books, and enjoying outrageous belly laughs, giggles, and snorts. People were staring, and probably thinking, “I want what she is having!” The humor section was one of the smallest in the entire bookstore, but it may well have been the most important. When I turned around, I noticed the opposite aisle was the “Self-Improvement” section. It ran half the length of the store and displayed hundreds of books. At that cathartic moment, I had a huge "Ah-Ha" moment.”
