“Forgiveness entails the authentic acceptance of our own worthiness as human beings, the understanding that mistakes are opportunities for growth, awareness and the cultivation of compassion, and the realization that the extension of love to ourselves and others is the glue that holds the universe together. Forgiveness...is not a set of behaviors, but an attitude.” HumansTogetherUniverseOpportunityUnderstandingGrowthHuman BeingsMistakeAttitudeCompassionAwarenessAcceptanceBehaviorForgivenessRealizationExtensionsWorthinessGlueCultivation Author:Joan Z.

“The ordinary person senses the greatness of the odds against him even without thought or analysis, and he adapts his attitudes unconsciously. A huge passivity has settled on industrial society. For people carried about in mechanical vehicles, earning their living by waiting on machines, listening much of the waking day to canned music, watching packaged movie entertainment and capsulated news, for such people it would require an exceptional degree of awareness and an especial heroism of effort to be anything but supine consumers of processed goods.” PeoplePersonsWaitingEffortAttitudeAwarenessGreatnessHugeListeningDegreesNewsOrdinaryMachinesEntertainmentSensesConsumersAnalysisGoodsWakingVehicleHeroismOddsEarningExceptionalPassivityOrdinary Person Author:Marshall McLuhan
“The Zen meditative approach has a simple, unstated premise: moods and attitudes shape—determine—what we think and perceive. If we feel happy, we tend to develop certain trains of thought. If we feel sad or angry, still others. But suppose, with training, we become nonattached to distractions and learn to dampen these wild, emotional swings on either side of equanimity. Then we can enter that serene awareness which is the natural soil for positive, spontaneous personal growth, often called spiritual growth.” IfsThinkingFeelsStillsSpiritualCertainSidesGrowthNaturalSimpleAttitudeLearningSadnessAwarenessEmotionalShapesApproachTrainingAngryTrainPersonal GrowthDetermineHappyMoodPerceiveSoilSpiritual GrowthDistractionSwingsSpontaneousPremisesSereneEquanimityTrain Of Thought Book:Zen and the Brain: Toward an Understanding of Meditation and Consciousness Source: Zen and the Brain: Toward an Understanding of Meditation and Consciousness
“The most killer questions in sales: "Mr. Jones, when I say (insert your product, your company, or anything you want an opinion about here) what one word comes to mind?"

“Don't think that only sitting with the eyes closed is practice. If you do think this way, then quickly change your thinking. Steady practice is keeping mindful in every posture, whether sitting, walking, standing or lying down. When coming out of sitting, don't think that you're coming out of meditation, but that you are only changing postures. If you reflect in this way, you will have peace. Wherever you are, you will have this attitude of practice with you constantly. You will have a steady awareness within yourself.” IfsThinkingWayEyeLyingAttitudePracticeMeditationAwarenessWalkingSittingStandingSteadyComing OutPostureWherever You AreLying Down Author:Ajahn Chah
“I do think there is an enhanced awareness of insecurity and vulnerability that induces anxiety that creates pressure on teachers and administrators to offer simplistic explanations and to be resistant to expressions of attitudes that can be viewed as unpatriotic, which is further interpreted as applicable to any tendency to challenge the government when it claims to be acting overseas to avoid repetitions of 9/11 or to encroach on domestic freedom to identify suspicious persons and behaviors.” ThinkingPersonsGovernmentChallengesActingAttitudeTeacherAwarenessExpressionOffersBehaviorAnxietyClaimsPressureTendenciesExplanationVulnerabilityInsecurityRepetitionSuspiciousAdministratorsUnpatriotic Author:Richard A.

“The Confucians paid a great deal attention to ritual, highlighting the ones that expressed the sorts of affective attitudes one wants to cultivate, engaging in them with keen awareness of their value for shaping and reshaping the self, and insisting on the need to be emotionally present to their significance for one's relationship to others.
