This critical shift requires constant diligence, discipline and practice.” MovingPurposeNaturalPracticeBalanceDisciplineInnovationDown AndManagementImpactConstantCriticalCustomersSpeedProductivityAuthenticityIntimacySignificanceSlow DownDiligenceAccuracySlowing Author:Kevin Cashman

“The Grid makes the history of architecture and all previous lessons of urbanism irrelevant. It forces Manhattan's builders to develop a new system of formal values, to invent strategies for the distinction of one block from another. The Grid's two-dimensional discipline also creates undreamt-of freedom for three-dimensional anarchy. The Grid defines a new balance between control and de-control in which the city can be at the same time ordered and fluid, a metropolis of rigid chaos.” TwoValuesThreeForceCitiesBalanceDisciplineLessonsStrategyChaosArchitectureBlockDistinctionAnarchyFormalIrrelevantFluidManhattanBuilderGridsMetropolis Author:Rem Koolhaas

“Honesty comes only with sound health, physically and psychologically, and an honest mind cannot be separated from the most genuine acknowledgment of expression. It should be recognized that pure perfection is unobtainable. Therefore, the realization that one's irrevocable faults and deficiencies must be faced guides us toward the first step of learning. We must each accept any situation as it actually is, with dignity. In that fine balance of acceptance of self and the mission to better oneself, compassion, humility, and discipline are nurtured.” ShouldMindFirstsSelfSoundCompassionSituationAcceptingStepsHonestHonestyAcceptanceHumilityExpressionFineBalanceDisciplinePureDignityPerfectionFaultsOneselfMissionsGuidesGenuineRealizationSelf AcceptanceFirst StepsDeficiencyAcknowledgmentIrrevocable Author:Midori Goto

“Dogs have found themselves in an odd predicament by living with humans. In the wild, dogs don't need humans to achieve balance. They have a pack leader, work for food and travel with the pack. When we bring them into our world, we need to help them achieve balance by fulfilling their needs as nature intended. This takes exercise and discipline before affection, and always maintaining your calm, assertive pack leadership.” WorldNeedsHumansHelpingFoundLeaderAchieveDogBalanceDisciplineExerciseCalmAffectionOddOur WorldPacksFulfillingMaintainingPredicamentsAssertiveWild Dogs Author:Cesar Millan
“We should balance the budget. If government programs are important enough, we need to pay for them with taxes or make cuts in lesser programs. We've lost that discipline entirely. It seems prudent to avoid the possibility that the people who own our debt will start to worry the U.S. won't pay. That would raise how much it would cost the U.S. to borrow, which in a national emergency, like a war or pandemic, could be critical.” PeopleImportantWarEnoughWorryCuttingPossibilityBalanceDisciplineTaxesProgram Author:Robert J.
