“When I look at a wildlife or nature subject, I dont see the feathers in the wings, I just count the wings. I see exciting shapes, color combinations, patterns, textures, fascinating behavior and endless possibilities for making interesting pictures. I regard the picture as an ecosystem in which all the elements are interrelated, interdependent, perfectly balanced, without trimming or unutilized parts; and herein lies the lure of the painting; in a world of chaos, the picture is one small rectangle in which the artist can create an ordered universe.” WorldLooksLyingArtistUniverseInterestingSubjectsPossibilityColorPaintingShapesBehaviorElementsExcitingRegardWingsChaosPatternsEndlessCombinationFascinatingBalancedFeathersTextureWildlifeEcosystemsLureTrimmingEndless PossibilitiesRectangles Author:Charley Harper
“Interesting, isn't it, that even though more than two and a half decades have passed since the sexual revolution brought women a new measure of sexual freedom, there's still no word in the language that doesn't reek with pejorative connotation to describe a woman who has sex freely. Since language frames thought and sets its limits, this is not a trivial matter. For without a word that describes without condemning, it's hard to think about it neutrally as well. When we say the words 'promiscuous woman,' therefore, it's a statement about her character, not just her sexual behavior.” ThinkingWellsStillsTwoMatterHardCharacterLanguageSexWomenInterestingHalfRevolutionLimitsBehaviorDecadesStatementsCondemningConnotationPromiscuousSexual Revolution Author:Lillian B.

“We rarely use much debt and, when we do, we attempt to structure it on a long-term fixed rate basis. We will reject interesting opportunities rather than over-leverage our balance sheet.

“I studied a lot of animal behavior and one of the things I find really interesting is the whole idea that animals are sensory based thinkers and I wrote about this in my book, Animals in Translation. That an animal's memory is not in words, they've got to be in pictures - it's very detailed so let's say the animal gets afraid of something - they'll get afraid of something that they're looking at or hearing, the moment the bad thing happens.” BookIdeasWholeMomentsHappensMemoriesAnimalInterestingBehaviorHearingThings HappenBad ThingsThinkerTranslationsReally InterestingSensoryBad Things HappenAnimal Behavior Author:Temple Grandin

“I used to believe that you could change the culture or behavior of a company. I still believe it's possible, but it is at least a five to ten year process, if you are successful at all. More recently, I have been attracted to the ideas of the behavioralist, Edgar Schein. Schein has argued that you cannot change the culture of a company, but you can use the culture of a company to create change. It's an interesting approach to overcoming resistance. And if you can change how a company does its work, you might eventually be able to change how its people think.” PeopleThinkingBelieveCultureInterestingSuccessfulBehaviorOvercomingI Still Believe Author:James A.
