“One answer to why public interest in men's tennis has been on the wane in recent years is an essential and unpretty thugishness about the power-baseline style that's become dominant on the tour. Watch Agassi closely sometime...he's amazingly absent of finesse, with movements that look more like a heavy-metal musician's than an athlete's...what a top PBer really resembles is film of the old Soviet Union putting down a rebellion. It's awesome, but brutally so, with a grinding, faceless quality about its power that renders that power curiously dull and empty.” MenYearsLooksHas BeensFilmSportsInterestAnswersQualityWatchesStyleMovementEssentialsMusicianEmptyUnionsAthleteHeavyTennisDullRebellionSovietMetalsDominantSoviet UnionAbsentPublic InterestHeavy MetalFacelessFinesse Author:David Foster Wallace

“What quality is shared by all objects that provoke our aesthetic emotions? Only one answer seems possible— significant form. In each, lines and colors combined in a particular way; certain forms and relations of forms, stir our aesthetic emotions.

“I think the most important key to quality communication and interaction is developing an interest in the person you`re talking with. Most women know the secret to a quality conversation is to ask quality questions and have a sincere interest in hearing the answers. In fact, the best communicators very often say the least. It`s not the extrovert who dominates the conversation that a client feels most connected with, but rather the individual who shows a real and sincere interest in knowing about the life of the person they`re talking with.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsPersonsImportantRealFactsShowsAsksIndividualInterestAnswersSecretQualityTalkingKnowingCommunicationKeysConversationConnectedHearingDevelopingSincereInteractionClientsCommunicatorsExtroverts Author:Tony Robbins
“Our good nature and endearing qualities will not arouse the answers to our prayers. Rather it is our mischievous, dishonest attributes that provide the master keys to heaven.

“Our answer is the world's hope; it is to rely on youth. The cruelties and the obstacles of this swiftly changing planet will not yield to obsolete dogmas and outworn slogans. It cannot be moved by those who cling to a present which is already dying, who prefer the illusion of security to the excitement and danger which comes with even the most peaceful progress.

“To know whether you can trust a particular intuitive judgment, there are two questions you should ask: Is the environment in which the judgment is made sufficiently regular to enable predictions from the available evidence? The answer is yes for diagnosticians, no for stock pickers. Do the professionals have an adequate opportunity to learn the cues and the regularities? The answer here depends on the professionals' experience and on the quality and speed with which they discover their mistakes.” KnowsShouldMadeTwoAsksOpportunityAnswersMistakeQualityEnvironmentParticularDependsJudgmentEvidenceAvailableSpeedPredictionsIntuitiveAdequateRegularityOpportunities To Learn Author:Daniel Kahneman
