“Management, in the sense of employer, is merely the agent for the public, the stockholders and the employees. It is management's job to preserve the balance fairly between all these interests, that each may have his fair share without imperiling the continuity of the effort upon which the whole depends.” MayWholeJobsInterestEffortShareDependsBalanceFairsManagementAgentsPreservesEmployeeEmployersContinuityFair Share Author:James F.

“Just do your best to keep yourself in balance. One of the first things that causes Energy misalignment, is asking or demanding too much of yourself in terms of time and effort. In other words, you just cannot burn the candle at both ends, so that you are physically tired, and then expect yourself to have a cheerful attitude. So, the rule of thumb has to be: "I'm going to be very, very, very happy, and then do everything I have time to do after that.” FirstsEndsEnergyCausesTermEffortHealingAttitudeToo MuchBalanceAskingTiredCandleVery HappyCheerfulThumbsPhysically Tired Author:Esther Hicks
“But on balance, a performer wants to feel that there's something there which stands out because you put a lot of effort into it, a lot of energy and a lot of yourself into something. I feel pretty successful about some movies I've been in that have not been greeted with a lot of enthusiasm and I do trust my own criteria.” WantFeelsEnergyMy OwnEffortSuccessfulBalanceEnthusiasmPerformersStanding OutCriteria Author:Ben Affleck
“Traditionally, women have a lot of different roles in society. It is very difficult to balance all these roles and at the same time to compete with men. A leading, successful woman has to put in much bigger efforts to be more competent and faster, more dynamic and organized, than a successful man.” MenDifferentDifficultEffortRolesSuccessfulBalanceBiggerFasterOrganizedCompetentSuccessful WomenSuccessful Man Author:Dalia Grybauskaite
“Archery, fencing, spear fighting, all of the martial arts, tea ceremony, flower arranging...in all of these, correct breathing, correct balance, and correct stillness help to remake the individual. The basic aim is always the same: by tirelessly practicing a given skill, the student finally sheds the ego with its fears, worldly ambitions, and reliance on objective scrutiny - sheds it so completely that he becomes the instrument of a deeper power, from which mastery falls instinctively, without further effort on his part, like a ripe fruit.” ArtHelpingFallFightingIndividualGivenEffortStudentsFlowerBalanceSkillsEgoAmbitionAimInstrumentsFruitDeeperObjectivesTeaBreathingMartial ArtsStillnessMasteryShedWorldlyCeremonyRelianceRipeScrutinyRemakesSpearsArrangingArcheryFencingRipe FruitTea Ceremony Author:Karlfried Graf Durckheim

“I think if you look after yourself on a regular basis, and do the prep beforehand, you don't need to put lots of effort into looking good. It's about finding the right balance - if you have a good diet, drink lots of water, exercise regularly and sleep, you won't look bad on a regular basis. Then you can afford the occasional naughty slip up once in a while, going out and having a delicious glass of wine with friends, having a great laugh and chat then realizing its 2am isn't so bad - you've put in the hard work!” IfsThinkingNeedsLooksHardWaterRealizingSleepEffortLaughingHard WorkBalanceExerciseDrinkFindingsBasesWineGlassesDietsSlipsGoing OutDeliciousLooking GoodOccasionalNaughtyWine GlassPrepsWine With FriendsLook After Yourself Author:Cat Deeley
“You just have to sort of figure out how to - getting back to that word, "balance" - how to balance the public and the private efforts that are necessary to be successful, politically, and that's not just a comment about today. That, I think, has probably been true for all of our history.” ThinkingTodayEffortSuccessfulFiguresBalanceBeing SuccessfulComment Author:Hillary Clinton

“I must hold in balance the sense of the futility of effort and the sense of the necessity to struggle; the conviction of the inevitability of failure and still the determination to 'succeed'-and, more than these, the contradiction between the dead hand of the past and the high intentions of the future. If I could do this through the common ills-domestic, professional and personal-then the ego would continue as an arrow shot from nothingness to nothingness with such force that only gravity would bring it to earth at last.” IfsStillsHandsEarthLastsPastForceCommonEffortStruggleBalanceSucceedEgoShotsDeterminationIntentionConvictionIf I CouldContradictionGravityNothingnessArrowsFutilityInevitabilityDetermination To Succeed Book:Fitzgerald: My Lost City: Personal Essays, 1920-1940 Source: Fitzgerald: My Lost City: Personal Essays, 1920-1940
