“In many ways, large profits are even more insidious than large losses in terms of emotional destabilization. I think it's important not to be emotionally attached to large profits. I've certainly made some of my worst trades after long periods of winning. When you're on a big winning streak, there's a temptation to think that you're doing something special, which will allow you to continue to propel yourself upward. You start to think that you can afford to make shoddy decisions. You can imagine what happens next. As a general rule, losses make you strong and profits make you weak.” ThinkingWayLongMadeImportantBigsHappensNextWinningStrongTermLossDecisionImagineWorstSpecialEmotionalPeriodsWeakTradeProfitTemptationSomething SpecialStreaksInsidious Author:William Eckhardt

“The scientific attitude of mind involves a sweeping away of all other desires in the interests of the desire to know-it involves suppression of hopes and fears, loves and hates, and the whole subjective emotional life, until we become subdued to the material, able to see it frankly, without preconceptions, without bias, without any wish except to see it as it is, and without any belief that what it is must be determined by some relation, positive or negative, to what we should like it to be, or to what we can easily imagine it to be.” KnowsShouldMindWholeAbleDesireHateBeliefWishInterestAttitudeImagineEmotionalMaterialsNegativeRelationDeterminedBiasSubjectiveSweepingLove And HateSuppressionPreconceptionsFear Of LoveHopes And FearsEmotional Life Book:Mysticism and Logic Source: Mysticism and Logic
“Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child's wishes and needs. It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded.” NeedsChildrenFactsPainMotherSufferingWishFeltParentImagineChildhoodEmotionalFilledIllnessFrustrationWoundedForbiddenBest Mother Book:For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence Source: For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence

“A formative influence on my undergraduate self was the response of a respected elder statesmen of the Oxford Zoology Department when an American visitor had just publicly disproved his favourite theory. The old man strode to the front of the lecture hall, shook the American warmly by the hand and declared in ringing, emotional tones: "My dear fellow, I wish to thank you. I have been wrong these fifteen years." And we clapped our hands red. Can you imagine a Government Minister being cheered in the House of Commons for a similar admission?

“No one attached to the traditional image of authoritarian patriarchy could imagine the consternation men endure. They have suffered an unexpected blow to the emotional quality of their lives. Its gravity has not been calculated. They have far fewer reliable links than women to the classic currents of family life. They are alienated not only, as Marx said, from the means of production but also from the means of reproduction.” MenMeanSaidQualityImagineEmotionalEndureBlowCurrentsProductionsTraditionalClassicUnexpectedLinksFewerGravityPatriarchyFamily LifeReproductionConsternation Author:Lionel Tiger

“Often you find actors have big hearts; they're quite emotional people. Talking to actors who date other actors, and talking to people who deal with other actors, they often get emotionally caught up in lots of different things. They often wear their hearts on their sleeves. They feel things quite a lot - often to the nth degree, which I can imagine could make it quite difficult to date some of us. I think it's about having an emotional availability that you can kind of draw on. But I'm also searching for that. I'll be searching for the answer to that question for the rest of my life.” PeopleThinkingHeartKindDifferentDifficultImagineEmotionalCaught UpPeople TalkingBig Heart Author:Douglas Booth
“It's a very different thing when you're able to read something and see it in your mind, then to imagine it on screen.
