“Sport can be used for messaging, for example, making the connections between shin guards or a helmet that protects you, and protection in terms of HIV and AIDS. There has also been a very active program in Africa called 'Kick Polio out of Africa,' where soccer players have spoken out in terms of polio. There is also going to be a swim for malaria.” UsedSportsTermPlayerExampleProtectProgramConnectionsActiveProtectionAidsSoccerKicksSwimHivProtect YouHelmetMalariaSoccer PlayerPolio Author:Carol Bellamy

“Rather than accepting the drifting separation of the generations, we might begin to define a more complex and interesting set of life stages and parenting passages, each emphasizing the connections to the generations ahead and behind. As I grow older, for example, I might first see my role as a parent in need of older, mentoring parents, and then become a mentoring parent myself. When I become a grandparent, I might expect to seek out older mentoring grandparents, and then later become a mentoring grandparent.” NeedsFirstsMightGrowsParentInterestingBehindsAcceptingRolesGenerationsStageExampleConnectionsComplexesSeparationPassagesGrandparentDriftingMentoring Book:Childhood's Future Source: Childhood's Future
“The moments that you share with a person do not stop when that person is not in your life anymore. The relationship that I had with my father did not stop when he passed away. An example is me doing the Pacific swim. If I didn't have the father that I had I wouldn't be doing this. We had a close connection in life, and I still carry that connection in following my dream. This is because of my parents, the closeness that we had and what we share together.” IfsPersonsStillsMomentsDreamTogetherFatherParentShareExampleConnectionsFollowingSwimPacificClosenessPassed AwayFollowing My Dreams Author:Benoit Lecomte

“I think it's just been a core part of the Cuban revolution to have a very high level of internationalism.

“There is an idea in Kabbalah that the creation of the world is created through space. God is an ever present Being, and in order for anything outside of Him to exist, like this world for example, there needs to be what's called a TumTum[a], or a withdrawal of Godly-like. And that withdrawal happens not by connection but actually by separation. Conflict. And in the gap of that conflict is where the world is situated. That's where the world is created and lived.” WorldNeedsIdeasHappensOrderSpaceExampleCreationThis WorldConflictConnectionsSeparationGapsGodlyWithdrawalKabbalahCreation Of The World Author:Matisyahu

“The act of imagination is the opening of the system so that it shows new connections. Every act of act of imagination is the discovery of likenesses between two things which were thought unlike. An example is Newton’s thinking of the likeness between the thrown apple and moon sailing majestically in the sky. Hence, the ‘discovery’ of the laws of gravity.” ThinkingTwoShowsLawImaginationSkyExampleMoonDiscoveryConnectionsOpeningApplesTwo ThingsThrownGravitySailingNewton Author:Jacob Bronowski
