“The human venture depends absolutely on this quality of awe and reverence and joy in the Earth and all that lives and grows upon the Earth. As soon as we isolate ourselves from these currents of life and from the profound mood that these engender within us, then our basic life-satisfactions are diminished. None of our machine-made products, none of our computer-based achievements can evoke that total commitment to life.” HumansMadeEarthJoyGrowsQualityGrowing UpProductsDependsAchievementComputerCommitmentMachinesProfoundCurrentsSatisfactionMoodAweReverenceVentureEvoke Book:The Great Work: Our Way into the Future Source: The Great Work: Our Way into the Future

“Now when you transfer into the conscious parenting paradigm, you have to release those pressures and those fears... you actually think into the very ordinary but profound moment to moment connection to your children and you do away with those extraneous attachments to achievement or beauty or wealth or success. And while those things have their place, they don't overwhelm or override the life of the parent and child. Your life is actually suddenly liberated.” ThinkingChildrenMomentsLife IsParentWealthAchievementOrdinaryConsciousConnectionsPressureOur ChildrenProfoundReleaseYour ChildrenAttachmentParadigmLiberatedTransfersChildren And Parents Author:Shefali Tsabary
“One of the things that's really exciting from my perspective is that Canada is one of the major spacefaring nations. The list of our achievements is profound and significant, and it's not just in robotics, it's also in the life-sciences research experiments that take place on board and other space-science experiments. I'd love to see Canada go from being a major spacefaring nation in low-Earth-orbit missions to those beyond, making sure we're part of those missions to Mars - not just from a technology perspective, but sending humans into beyond-Earth orbit.” TechnologyPerspectiveAchievementExcitingProfoundSignificant Author:Dafydd Williams

“At times many of us let that enemy of achievement--even the culprit 'self-defeat'--dwarf our aspirations, smother our dreams, cloud our vision, and impair our lives. The enemy's voice whispers in our ears, 'You can't do it.' 'You're too young.' 'You're too old.' 'You're nobody.' This is when we remember that we are created in the image of God. Reflection on this truth provides a profound sense of strength and power.” SelfDreamRememberYoungVoiceVisionEnemyOur LivesAchievementReflectionEarsProfoundDefeatCloudsAspirationOur DreamsGod ImageDwarfsOld YouDwarvesCulprit Author:Thomas S.

“It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very simplicity and the great ease which it has lent to computations put our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and we shall appreciate the grandeur of the achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.” MenFirstsWellsMeanTwoImportantIdeasRememberValuesSimpleNumbersEducationPositionGeniusTenAchievementAppreciateIndiaAbsolutesMathematicsMethodProfoundSimplicityAppreciationMathInventionSymbolsMathematicalEaseMeritReceivingGrandeurAntiquityIngeniousArithmeticComputationNumbers And MathGreatest ManGreat Math Author:Pierre-Simon Laplace
