“Having a child makes you strong and gives you chutzpah. It relaxed my attitude to the job; my center of focus shifted, which I think is very helpful, because even if you're not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I don't think that is particularly healthy.” IfsThinkingGivingChildrenJobsActorsStrongAttitudeFocusHealthyHelpfulAbout YourselfRelaxedMy AttitudeThinking About YouThinking About Yourself Author:Imelda Staunton
“People who feel the world is tilted against them will spawn the kind of hatred that is very dangerous for all of us. I think it's a healthy sign that there are demonstrators in the streets.

“Investor demand for distressed property has been healthy, as rents rise to levels that can cover investors' costs while they wait for properties to appreciate. Giving investors a small tax break should further juice up demand, supporting prices for distressed homes and the market in general.” GivingShouldHas BeensHomeWaitingLevelsBreakHealthyCostDemandTaxesAppreciatePropertyInvestorsJuiceGiving InTax Breaks Author:Mark Zandi
“When we mistake what we can know for all there is to know, a healthy appreciation of one's ignorance in the face of a mystery like soil fertility gives way to the hubris that we can treat nature as a machine. Once that leap has been made, one input follows another, so that when the synthetic nitrogen fed to plants makes them more attractive to insects and vulnerable to disease, as we have discovered, the farmer turns to chemical pesticides to fix his broken machine.” KnowsWayGivingHas BeensMadeFacesTurnsMistakeMysteryLandIgnoranceBrokenHealthyDiseaseMachinesTreatsPlantAppreciationVulnerableAttractiveSoilFedsLeapChemicalsFarmersInsectsInputHubrisFertilitySyntheticPesticidesNitrogen Author:Michael Pollan
“Balance and control come from healthy anger. This is just as aggressive as the unhealthy kind. But it is based on a belief and hope for change in social roles and institutions. Healthy anger demands change and creates the confrontations needed for change to occur. It also gives the other an opportunity to help make that change. “Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.” ThinkingGivingKindFactsHelpingCoursesOpportunityBeliefSocialRolesRevolutionNeededBalanceHealthyDemandDeterminationTasksInstitutionsDefinitionsAggressiveAfflictionConfrontationUnhealthySocial Roles Author:Barbara Deming
“Give yourself a compliment every day. I know this sounds silly, but it really is important. As girls, we spend countless hours focusing on our flaws and trying to correct them or cover them up. It's essential to focus on something you like about yourself. Maybe you're having a good hair day or your skin is looking especially healthy. Take a moment each day to focus on the good, and then try to carry that with you throughout the day, because while bangs don't look good on everyone, confidence does.” KnowsGivingTryingLooksDoeImportantMomentsGirlSoundHoursFocusHairHealthyEssentialsSkinsSillyEach DayFlawsComplimentAbout YourselfBangsGood Hair Author:Lauren Conrad
“It can be a good thing if deeper theology, or philosophy, only makes one more uncertain. It may lead to a healthy doubt; he may throw his hands up saying, 'God, I just don't know anymore. If you're out there, I'm giving it all to you.' From there, after the surrender, he is allowing God himself, rather than theories, books, and documents, to take over and lead him into all truth.” IfsKnowsGivingMayBookPhilosophyHandsDoubtTheoryHealthyGood ThingsDeeperSurrenderTheologyAllowingUncertainDocumentsHands UpGiving It All Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
