“We cannot create blueprint for future society, but it is good to think about that. It is good to have in mind a goal. It is constructive, it is helpful, it is healthy, to think about what future society might be like, because then it guides you somewhat what you are doing today, but only so long as this discussions about future society don't become obstacles to working towards this future society. Otherwise you can spend discussing this utopian possibility versus that utopian possibility, and in the mean time you are not acting in a way that would bring you closer to that.” ThinkingWayMindMeanLongMightTodayGoalActingPossibilityHealthyObstaclesGuidesDiscussionHelpfulVersusConstructiveDiscussingUtopianBlueprintsFuture Society Author:Howard Zinn
“If you choose to do both [acting and directing] on a set, than you're admitting that you understand that everyone is in it for the same goal and it's a collaborative experience. You can't really jump into being an actor, and than direct yourself. At some point, you have to be willing to accept other people's opinions. I think that's helpful. If you try to micro-manage and control all of it, than you're probably heading for disaster.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingActorsGoalActingAcceptingOpinionWillingDirectDisasterManageHelpfulYou ChooseHeadingsAdmitting Author:Rebecca Hall
“I think setting goals is critical; having deadlines for ourselves- how much by when? Too many people have these big dreams where they want to have a big house on the ocean. But until we say what ocean, how big, what day, our conscience doesn't know what to do with that information. A positive expectancy, a positive attitude, a belief that your dream is possible is also helpful.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantDreamBigsHouseBeliefGoalAttitudeInformationOceanConscienceCriticalSettingSettingsYour DreamsPositive AttitudeHelpfulSetting GoalsDeadlineExpectancyBig Houses Author:Jack Canfield
