“Bad luck with women is a determined man's road to success. For every affliction, he makes, out of indignation, yet another advancement in order to exceed the man that the woman chose over him. This goes to show that great men are made great because they once learned how to fight the feeling of rejection.” MenMadeShowsFeelingsOrderFightingHe ManLuckDeterminedRejectionGreat MenAfflictionAdvancementExceedRoad To SuccessBad LuckIndignationMake Out Book:Venus in Arms Source: Venus in Arms
“The fact of the matter is that, since we are determined always to keep our feelings to ourselves, we have never given any thought to the manner in which we should express them. And suddenly there is within us a strange and obscene animal making itself heard, whose tones may inspire as much alarm in the person who receives the involuntary, elliptical and almost irresistible communication of one's defect or vice as would the sudden avowal indirectly and outlandishly proffered by a criminal who can no longer refrain from confessing to a murder of which one had never imagined him to be guilty.” ShouldMayPersonsMatterFactsFeelingsGivenAnimalEmotionHeardInspireStrangeCommunicationMurderVicesDeterminedCriminalsGuiltyToneDefectsAlarmsIrresistibleRefrainObsceneInvoluntaryConfessing Book:In Search of Lost Time, Volume III: The Guermantes Way Source: In Search of Lost Time, Volume III: The Guermantes Way
“Self-acceptance begins in infancy, with the influence of your parents and siblings and other important people. Your own level of self-acceptance is determined largely by how well you feel you are accepted by the important people in your life. Your attitude toward yourself is determined largely by the attitudes that you think other people have toward you. When you believe that other people think highly of you, your level of self-acceptance and self-esteem goes straight up. The best way to build a healthy personality involves understanding yourself and your feelings.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsBelieveWellsImportantSelfFeelingsParentUnderstandingLevelsAttitudeInfluenceSelf EsteemAcceptancePersonalityHealthyDeterminedAcceptedBest WayEsteemSelf AcceptanceSiblingInfancyPeople In Your LifeStraight UpUnderstanding Yourself Author:Brian Tracy
