“Above all, do not give up your moral and political autonomy by accepting in somebody else's terms the illiberal practicality of the bureaucratic ethos or the liberal practicality of the moral scatter.

“The trials and pressures of life--and how we face them--often define us. Confronted by adversity, many people give up while others rise up. How do those who succeed do it? They persevere. They find the benefit to them personally that comes from any trial. And they recognize that the best thing about adversity is coming out on the other side of it. There is a sweetness to overcoming your troubles and finding something good in the process, however small it may be. Giving up when adversity threatens can make a person bitter. Persevering through adversity makes one better.” PeopleGivingMayPersonsFacesProcessSidesTroubleSucceedGiving UpBenefitsFindingsOvercomingPressureAdversityTrialsBitterBest ThingsComing OutSweetnessPersevere Author:John C.

“I lapsed into my pathetic cut-off period. Often with humans, both good and bad, my senses simply shut off, they get tired, I give up. I am polite. I nod. I pretend to understand because I don’t want anybody to be hurt. That is the one weakness that has lead me into the most trouble. Trying to be kind to others I often get my soul shredded into a kind of spiritual pasta. No matter. My brain shuts off. I listen. I respond. And they are too dumb to know that I am not there.” KnowsWantGivingTryingHumansKindSoulMatterSpiritualHurtBrainCuttingTroublePeriodsGiving UpWeaknessTiredSensesMy SoulDumbBe KindPoliteGood And BadPatheticLeading MePastaBe Kind To Others Book:Hollywood Source: Hollywood
