“You can be a giant among artists without ever attaining any great skill. Facility is a dangerous thing. When there is too much technical ease the brain stops criticizing. Don't let the hand fall into a smart way of putting the mind to sleep.” WayMindHandsArtistFallSleepBrainToo MuchDangerousDangerSkillsSmartEaseGiantsCriticizeFacilityDangerous Things Author:John French Sloan
“Baby, I have no idea how this will end. Maybe the equator will fall like a hula hoop from the earth's hips and our mouths will freeze mid-kiss on our 80th anniversary or maybe tomorrow my absolute insanity combined with the absolute obstacle course of your communication skills will leave us like a love letter in a landfill. But whatever, however, whenever this ends I want you to know that right now, I love you forever.” KnowsWantInspirationalIdeasEndsEarthPoetryFallCoursesForeverLove YouCommunicationBabyTomorrowRight NowSkillsKissingMouthsLettersAbsolutesObstaclesHipsNo IdeaInsanityCommunication SkillsI Want YouFreezeLove LetterEquatorLove You ForeverLandfillsHulaI Love You ForeverMaybe Tomorrow Author:Andrea Gibson
“You, sleeping on your bed of nails. Weeping an ocean beyond the pale. Strange, sorrow is your greatest skill. You're suffering from overkill... Choose whether to laugh or to cry. Menace and promise mingle in your eye. Wait, it's only a matter of time. You know everything will be fine... Rain falls down and the seas run high. When you're by my side we can rise above it. Let me dry all the tears inside. On your way you cannot hide from the howling wind and the roaring tide. You might get hurt but your fears will subside when you at last escape from the tears inside.” KnowsWayMatterMightEyeRunningLastsSufferingFallWaitingSidesHurtSleepLaughingSeaCryTearsStrangeWindFineSorrowPromiseBedSkillsOceanRainLet MeDown AndDryTidesPaleNailsRise AboveWeepingFalling DownMenaceRoaringMatter Of TimeRise Above ItOverkillHowling Wind Author:Tim Finn
“Consider developing your whole self with the same raw focus and intensity that you develop a particular skill set. Get focused. Go out, have adventures. Run, jump, skin your knee, fall in love, root loudly for the away team at a baseball game, barely escape a crash of stampeding rhinos, live to see another day. Experience things big and small. Go for a walk. The world is full of wonders.” WorldLoveSelfWholeBigsRunningFallGamesWalksWonderFocusTeamParticularAdventureSelf LoveWalkingSkillsRootsSkinsExperienceBaseballFalling In LoveFocusedDevelopingKneesIntensityCrashAnother DayBaseball GamesLive LoveRhinos Author:Anthony Holden
“Emotional intelligence in the work that we do, in the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program, is about equipping young people with the kinds of skills they need to both identify and manage their emotions, to communicate those emotions effectively, and to resolve conflict nonviolently. So it's a whole set of skills and competencies that, for us, fall under the umbrella of emotional intelligence.” PeopleNeedsKindWholeYoungFallEmotionYouthEmotionalSkillsConflictProgramCommunicateManageResolveResolutionNonviolenceEmotional IntelligenceUmbrellaWin WinCompetenciesResolving Conflict Author:Linda Lantieri
