“Four experts had an appointment with an ordinary man. They needed him to ratify their findings, or anything they achieved would be meaningless. As they drove to meet him, they knocked down a man on the road. He was dying. If they tried to save him, they might miss their appointment. They decided that their appointment, which concerned all of us, was more important than the life of one man. They drove on to keep their appointment. They did not know that the man they were to meet was the man they had left to die.” IfsKnowsMenImportantMightWould BeDiesLeftFourDyingMissingHe ManNeededFindingsOrdinaryConcernedDecidedExpertsOne ManMeaninglessAppointmentsOrdinary ManKnocked Down Author:William McIlvanney
“Finding balance in life is perhaps the greatest challenge of this generation, especially for women. I've decided that I need to compartmentalize my life better. From the time my kids get home until after dinner, I put my phone away. If I pick it up, my kids call me on it, and I have to put money in the "phone jar." When the phone jar gets full, the kids can spend the money on fun family outings, like going to a movie or going to their favorite restaurant. This unplugged time has helped me to be more mindful and give them my full attention.” IfsNeedsGivingHomeKidsLife IsFunChallengesAttentionGenerationsBalanceFindingsPicksDecidedPhonesDinnerRestaurantsCall MeJarsThis GenerationLife BalanceFun Family Author:Dayna Devon
“I had to pay an incredible amount to get insured on it and, after a couple of weeks of driving it around, I realised it wasn't quite my style. I'm not flash by any means but a bright red Ferrari is a definite head-turner and I hated that. It was also incredibly impractical, particularly when it came to finding space for a friend or for my tennis bag, so I decided to sell it after a few months.” MeanSpacePayWeekStyleMonthsAmountCoupleFindingsRedDecidedSellsIncrediblesDrivingHatedTennisBagsFlashDefiniteRealisedFerrariTurner Author:Andy Murray
“I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer's as an insult, and I decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces that I could against this wretched disease.

“This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tearless, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet here I was stirred, profoundly stirred, stirred to tears. And by what? By the grief of one dog. Napoleon Bonaparte, on finding a dog beside the body of his dead master, licking his face and howling, on a moonlit field after a battle. Napoleon was haunted by this scene until his own death.” HomeBodyFacesOrderGivenNationsGriefDogFieldsTearsMastersSceneBattleFindingsDecidedLaysSoldierI RealizedDesertedLickingDog LossBonaparte Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
