“The great difficulty with large canvases is that they should by right be painted as fast as a sketch. By speed only can you gain an appearance of fleeting effect.

“To a sprinter, the hundred-yard dash is over in three seconds, not nine or ten. The first 'second' is when you come out of the blocks. The next is when you look up and take your first few strides to attain gain position. By that time the race is actually about half over. The final 'second' - the longest slice of time in the world for an athlete - is that last half of the race, when you really bear down and see what you're made of. It seems to take an eternity, yet is all over before you can think what's happening.” ThinkingWorldFirstsLooksMadeSeemsLastsThreeNextSportsRaceHalfPositionBearsTenHappeningsHundredGainsEternityDown AndFinalsAthleteNineBlockLook UpSecondsYardsStrideSprinters Book:I Have Changed Source: I Have Changed
“A child is nothing like a racing car. . . . Souping up babies doesn't work that way. The child is what she is. There is a certainirreducible if elusive core. Pushing, pulling, stretching, and shrinking will not really change it. There may be spectacular interim results.

“For all your long-term investments, such as retirement accounts that you won't touch for at least ten years, you need a mix of stocks and bonds. Stocks offer the best shot at inflation-beating gains. But stocks don't always go up. That's where bonds come into play: They have less upside potential, but they also do not pack the same risk.” NeedsYearsLongPlayTermRiskOffersTenShotsGainsAccountsInvestmentLong TermRetirementPacksInflationBest Shot Author:Suze Orman
