“You'll see that excuses like "That's not easy" are of no value and that it pays to "push through it" at a pace you can handle. Like getting physically fit, the most important thing is that you keep moving forward at whatever pace you choose, recognizing the consequences of your actions.” LifeImportantActionMovingValuesEasyGrowthPayFitConsequenceImportant ThingsPersonal GrowthInvestingExcuseHandleMoving ForwardPaceYou ChooseRecognizingKeep MovingKeep Moving ForwardPhysically Fit Author:Ray Dalio
“And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity - it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen's talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American dream.” YearsSelfCountryDreamJobsAmericaLyingIndividualCommunityMemoriesFailingTalentIdentityCitizensFitTrainingConsequenceDignitySelf WorthPrimariesAmerican DreamGood JobNotableGreat AmericanTraining And Experience Author:Jim Clifton
“The initial 18th-, 19th-century intention was to give the less-educated lower classes a way to move up into this new, rising middle class, to enable them to fit in. So our view of language as being class-based is an unintended consequence of the drive to help educate rising businessmen.” GivingHelpingMovingLanguageFitConsequenceIntentionMiddle ClassEducateBusinessman Author:Kory Stamper
“So where does Stan fit in this equation?... We are told to meditate on scripture, even the hald that details the consequences of evil, the consequent of Jericho and all. Not to pretend out God has somehow changed since the time of Christ. Obviously, Paul's idea of admirable and noble is quite different from ours. God forgives us, Bill.

“We have made it our overriding ambition to escape work, and as a consequence have debased work until it is only fit to escape from. We have debased the products of work and have been, in turn, debased by them.

“So many misconceptions surround the notion of heroism. Far too many categorize a hero as a champion on the battlefield, a commander of legions, a master of rare talent or ability. Granted, there have been heroes who fit those descriptions. But many men of great evil as well. Heed me. A hero sacrifices for the greater good. A hero is true to his or her conscience. In short, heroism means doing the right thing regardless of the consequences. Although any person could fit that description, very few do. Choose this day to be one of them."
