“Har du tænkt på, at grunden til, at mange ansøgninger og CV’er bliver hurtigt kasseret, er, at indholdet i begge er lige så kedeligt og irrele-vant at læse for en arbejdsgiver, som brugermanualen til en elkedel? Hvis ikke indholdet er noget værd, og du ikke besidder de rette kom-petencer, er det ligegyldigt, hvor militært snorlige og korrekt opsætningen er. Din maratontid bliver heller ikke hurtigere af, at du sætter dit diplom i glas og ramme.”

“Hara hachi bu is a Confucian principle, popular in Japan since medieval times, that you should eat until you are only eight-tenths full. This principle has since been given backing by nutrition scientists who note that when we eat there is a time delay between the body receiving the food and the brain registering that we are full. When the urge comes to have a second helping, it’s worth waiting twenty minutes, and the feeling may pass.”

“Harada: Failure is essential, Amanda. It's the motivator. Even as an infant. You fall and fall again until eventually you can put one foot in front of the other and walk. Amanda: I don't like the not knowing. Not knowing what's wrong. Not knowing what I'm doing. Not knowing what's happening next. Harada: You're human. Of course you don't like it. The trick is learning to savor the unknown. To embrace mystery. Trust me... too much knowlegde can become... will become a bigger burden than ignorance and failure will ever be.”

“Haramis.” Harami, meaning a “sinner, thief, someone born illicitly.” The word carries a lot of meaning and the Iranians adopted it as well from the Arabic language. Tara was unzipping her suitcase, ready to take some clothes to take a shower. “Tell that to a trader and he might get a chuckle out of what you said,” Tara said. “Huh?” Amir had no idea what she meant. “The word harami, it’s a candlestick pattern.” “A candlestick pattern? What are you talking about?” Amir was now even more dumbfounded. “I was bored one day so I read and learned about trading. Stock trading,” Tara said as she started to take a set of clothes out of her suitcase. “Candlestick charts are patterns used by traders to look at price movements in stocks and stuff.” She closed her suitcase up and looked up at Amir. “Harami is a candlestick pattern. It means “skirt steak” in Japanese but it also derives its meaning from the word pregnant. And it basically shows one candlestick engulfing a smaller one. A pattern for traders to analyze which direction the stock or security will go.”

“Harapan memang bukanlah optimisme. Dalam harapan ada yang jauh lebih dalam daripada sekadar optimisme. Sulitnya meraba dan menyatakan harapan macam ini akan terasa, bila harapan itu dialami bukan secara individual dan eksistensial tapi secara sosial. Secarasosial, sulitlah orang meromantisasikan harapan. Dalam konteksnya yang sosial, harapan berarti perjuangan, perlawanan dan pergulatan melawan penindasan dan kesewenang-wenangan. Di sinilah harapan menjadi perjuangan melawan kekuasaan, yang biasanya cenderung menindas dan sewenang-wenang.”

“Hard-core results come from igniting the massive power of emotional commitment. Are your people committed?”

“Hard edges make truth and by necessity, truth is unbending. Unlike truth’s absolutism, justice is a qualitative substance; it is not an absolute tenet. Justice must be pliable in order to meet the needs of more than one person or one group. Justice goes against separation; it is a form of human superglue. Justice is what binds us as people. No human is capable of measuring out or dispensing unqualified justice. Justice naturally seeks conciliation and demands compromise.”
