“People go through four stages before any revolutionary development: 1. It's nonsense, don't waste my time. 2. It's interesting, but not important. 3. I always said it was a good idea. 4. I thought of it first.” PeopleFirstsSaidImportantIdeasChangeInterestingFourStageDevelopmentWasteRevolutionaryMy TimeNonsenseGood IdeasWasting My TimeDon't Waste My Time Author:Arthur C. Clarke
“Back in the early days like for the Temptations, Supremes and Four Tops, artist development was alive in record companies. Every artist had a moment to develop the record visually. When the web took over and camera phones, it stripped the artists of the power to figure it out. So there's a need to bridge that gap and that's my job.” NeedsMomentsJobsArtistCompanyRecordsFourAliveFiguresDevelopmentCamerasPhonesSupremeTemptationBridgesGapsRecord Companies Author:Laurieann Gibson
“I'm a bit obsessive. I've just bought this Wi-Fi radio, which can pick up 7,500 stations from all over the world. I'm boring my wife to death with it. I've got a thing about technology, so I've got four sat-nav systems and loads of gadgets, including a 100% accurate watch. Any new development and I'm there buying it. My best trait is that I'm happy and optimistic.” WorldBitsWatchesTechnologyFourWifeDevelopmentPicksIncludingRadioBoringMy WifeOptimisticSatBuyingStationsTraitsAccurateLoadObsessiveGadgets Author:Tony Blackburn
“Of the four project development variables - scope, cost, time and quality - quality isn't really a free variable.

“When we have four or five players out it's very difficult to get any continuity at this stage in our development.

“During a recent life development forum we offered a session on Christian practices. In one of the four weeks we introduced the practice of making the sign of the cross on ourselves. This gesture has become a very powerful experience for me. It is rich with meaning and history and is such a simple way to proclaim and pray my faith with my body.” WayBodyChristianSimplePowerfulPracticeRichFourWeekDevelopmentPrayingCrossesGesturesSessionVery PowerfulForumsSimple Ways Author:Doug Pagitt
“Jung said there are four archetypes adults go through, and these archetypes are reflected in the development of my work. The first archetype is the archetype of the athlete, reflecting the time in our adult life when our primary emphasis is on our body - what it looks like, how beautiful it is, how strong it is, and so on. We identify ourselves with our body. We are our body. Growing adults next move to what Jung called the archetype of the warrior. We take our physical bodies out there to do what warriors do.” FirstsLooksSaidBodyBeautifulMovingNextStrongFourGrowingDevelopmentAdultsAthleteWarriorPrimariesEmphasisReflectingPhysical BodyArchetypeJungNext Move Author:Wayne Dyer
“Let's be realistic about that. I think Mercedes when it started the engine [development] didn't have a budget. It spent. And then lots of teams don't and can't. I mean Red Bull, for example, that won four world championships, didn't know the word "budget", and it's a case that it hadn't got the ability to have the engine that it should have had. Because somebody else [Mercedes] had the engine, wouldn't let them have it, because they didn't want competition.” ThinkingKnowsWorldWantShouldMeanAbilityCasesFourTeamExampleDevelopmentRedShould HaveCompetitionBudgetsRealisticEnginesChampionshipBullsRed Bull Author:Bernie Ecclestone
“I don't think we in Ireland have to follow slavishly what other countries have done. Ireland has its own strengths - in family life, in the local community, in the concept of meitheal, a very traditional form of cooperation in rural Ireland. Three or four or five neighbors get together, exchanging labor, farm equipment, and so on. There are strong solidarity overtones. That tradition is being translated today into community self-development.” ThinkingSelfCountryDoneTodayTogetherFormThreeStrongCommunityFiveFourDevelopmentConceptsTraditionLaborNeighborLocalsTraditionalFarmsCooperationIrelandOther CountriesSolidarityEquipmentSelf DevelopmentFamily LifeGet TogetherExchangingLocal Community Author:Mary Robinson
“I personally feel it is presumptuous to believe that man can determine the whole temporal structure of the universe, its evolution, development and ultimate fate from the first nanosecond of creation to the last 10^10 years, on the basis of three or four facts which are not very accurately known and are disputed among the experts.” MenFeelsYearsFirstsBelieveWholeFactsLastsScienceUniverseThreeKnownFourFateCreationDevelopmentEvolutionUltimateBasesStructureDetermineExpertsPresumptuous Author:John N.
