“That’s the secret to performance: conviction. The right note played tentatively still misses its mark, but play boldly and no one will question you. If one believes there is truth in art – and I do – then it’s troubling how similar the skill of performing is to lying. Maybe lying is itself a kind of art. I think about that more than I should.” IfsThinkingShouldBelieveKindArtStillsPlayLyingSecretMissingSkillsPerformancesMarkNotesConvictionPerforming Book:Seraphina Source: Seraphina
“I consistently run into young adults who have quickly turned away from traditional jobs at great companies to try their hand at a start-up. I believe that some of this stems from the desire to strike it big like Mark Zuckerberg, but I also believe it is because starting a company has become far cooler than working in one.” TryingBelieveHandsBigsRunningJobsYoungDesireI BelieveCompanyAdultsMarkStartingYoung AdultStrikesTraditionalConsistentlyStemGreat CompanyZuckerberg Author:Maynard Webb
“It is not hateful to say that an immoral action is sinful. On the contrary, the most compassionate thing we can do is help people to turn away from sin. To ignore another person's wrongful actions is a sign of apathy or indifference, while fraternal correction is motivated by love for that person's well-being, as can be seen by the fact that our Lord Jesus himself urged such correction. Indeed, the call to repentance is at the heart of the Gospel, as Jesus proclaimed, "The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the Good News" (Mark 1:15).” PeopleBelieveWellsHeartPersonsFactsHelpingHandsActionTurnsJesusCan DoSinLordNewsMarkContraryKingdomsWell BeingIndifferenceRepentanceMotivatedCompassionateApathyGood NewsImmoralRepentKingdom Of GodOur LordHatefulCorrectionsFraternal Author:Thomas J.
