Quote by Thomm Quackenbush

“How I could ever establish a relationship with her father, though? His world was logical and mine was a morass of adolescent feelings. On television, we would grab a beer, replace a fan belt, and I would earn his begrudging respect. He might tell me to treat his daughter right while hitting the head of the wrench against his palm. In this world, I stood a better chance of connecting with the fan belt.”

“History helps us to create co-relation with event or action. It clarifies how things are related to each other. Ample knowledge of history let people to know about attitudes and feelings as resulting from an action.History is not merely a summation of previous events, but instead its purpose is to show reasons for why and how these events happened and give perspective to pain, breakthroughs, war, associated with them. It tells that how explorers reached out and started sharing culture.By making us more cognizant of how we got to this point, it teaches us how to continue to approach things in manners that work and refrain from committing a mistake repeatedly. History should help us learn lessons from our forefathers and Mothers past mistakes and their achievements along with what they created.”

“Even if Banareng Movement is too fast for u, don’t quit, bcoz it’s real & powerful. and u must be part of it. History can not and will never only be the one of our forefathers, bcoz u must create something for your grand-grandchildren to continue the blood existence and that is why many clans died becoz the relay was broken by fear, laziness and selling each other out... Now all Banareng are free and it’s time we all stand and increase the bar of Energy that will last 3000 years from now.... even if we build a dome with that Energy,Then let it be!”

“Look after your own skin.! Whether they are family or friends, manipulators are difficult to escape from if u get blinded by their Love. Give in to their demands and they will be happy enough, but if you develop a spine and start saying no, it will inevitably bring a fresh round of head games and emotional blackmail. U will notice that breaking free from someone else’s dominance will often result in them accusing you of being selfish. Yes, you r selfish, because you hv stopped doing what they want you to do for them. You must always be 10 steps ahead to survive. Powerless people use various tactics, such as getting upset, withdrawing, nagging, ridiculing, pouting, crying, or getting angry, to pressure, manipulate, and punish one another into keeping this pact. However, this ongoing power play does nothing to make them happy and mitigate their anxiety in the long term. In fact, their anxiety only escalates by continually affirming that they are not actually powerful. Any sense of love and safety they feel by gaining or surrendering control is tenuous and fleeting. A relational bond built on mutual control simply cannot produce anything remotely like safety, love, or trust. It can only produce more fear, pain, distrust, punishment, and misery. And when taken to an extreme, it produces things like domestic violence.”

“Your pride for your nation should not come after your nation becomes great; your nation becomes great because of your pride in it. And again, Achievements are not earned through proficiency alone. They are in fact rewards of our efficiency.Proficiency is gathered knowledge, while efficiency is the ability to translate the knowledge into action.What we need now is a nation of great people who live to positively impact others and build enduring legacies so that we can stand strong for years.”

“It’s important to understand your Emotions, An emotion is a strong feeling, a feeling such as joy, sadness, fear, or anger that moves us all the times. The experience create and makes us live not just exist. It transforms our life from a plain tasteless events, facts into a living and breathing experience.Our feelings controls our energy. When we are upset, it’s usually hard to think clearly, behave properly and choose wisely.On the other hand, when you feel joyful, secure, cared for and appreciated your heart rhythms become even and smooth and that is where the power is, that is where the positivity is generated.Emotional control and effective interpersonal relationships have made the difference between success and failure. You have to learn to ride the waves of emotion, instead of letting them knock you over.If we can learn to balance the control of our instincts, reflexes and basic physical functions and also learn how to drive our feelings and emotions as they are our inner guide of likes and dislikes then it’s a win, bcoz that is were our own survival is.”
