“Emotions are far more contagious than any disease. A smile or a panic will spread through a group of people far faster than any virus ever could. When you walk into the office or a negotiation, then, wash your bad mood away before you see us. Don't cough on us, don't sneeze on us, sure, but don't bring your grouchiness, your skepticism or your fear in here either. It might spread.” PeopleMightMotivationalWalksEmotionGroupsOfficeDiseaseSpreadMoodFasterPanicSkepticismNegotiationVirusesContagiousBad Mood Author:Seth Godin

“I feel my disease, and I feel that my want of alarm and lively affecting conviction forms its most obstinate ingredient; I try to stir up the emotion, and feel myself harassed and distressed at the impotency of my own meditations. But why linger without the threshold in the face of a warm and urgent invitation? "Come unto me." Do not think it is your office to heal one part of the disease, and Christ's to heal the remainder.” ThinkingWantFeelsTryingFacesFormChristMy OwnEmotionMeditationOfficeDiseaseConvictionWarmHealIngredientsUrgentInvitationsAlarmsLivelyThresholdObstinate Author:Thomas Chalmers

“Fear is not an emotion, it is a disease. It spreads from the leader to his followers and vice-versa. Nothing has killed more men in war than fear. What should a warrior fear? Death? But death is what everyone achieves ultimately. Is it wounds that you fear? What is more important? A pint of your blood or the nectar of victory? Think. Thinking will clear such doubts.” ThinkingMenShouldImportantWarEmotionLeaderClearDoubtBloodAchieveVictoryDiseaseVicesSpreadWoundsWarriorFollowersFear Of DeathVice VersaPintsNectar Author:Anand Neelakantan
“There is a social contract in "Fight Club" and in "Choke" where the protagonist has deceived a whole bunch of people. In "Choke" it's all of these people who think that they've saved his life, and really care about him because they've embraced him and they've been his saviors. In "Fight Club" it's all of these people who are dying of various diseases, and they thought that Edward Norton was also dying so they allowed him really strong pent-up emotions.” PeopleThinkingWholeCareFightingStrongSocialEmotionDyingDiseaseVariousClubsSavedBunchContractsSaviorDeceivedChokeProtagonistsSocial ContractPeople Who Are Dying Author:Chuck Palahniuk
