“I really rate Paul Scholes, because he hasn't got the high profile of many of the Manchester United players, he doesn't get too much attention, but he is one very good player. He is an intelligent player, he works hard and he scores some great goals. He is not flamboyant and is a quiet lad off the pitch but he is a tremendous asset to Manchester United and to England. He has already got my vote as player of the year.” YearsHardGoalUnitedAttentionToo MuchPlayerHard WorkQuietVoteEnglandIntelligentRateVery GoodScoreAssetsProfileManchesterLadManchester UnitedScholesFlamboyantHigh ProfilePaul Scholes Author:Tony Adams
“There is a natural rhythm to the active and receptive energies within us. At times our energy is strong and outgoing - it is time to pursue our goals, take risks, get things accomplished. At other times, our energy is quiet and sensitive, and we need to take time to nurture ourselves, relax, and just 'be' for a while. As we trust and follow this rhythm, we attract everything we need and create everything we truly desire.” NeedsDesireEnergyStrongGoalNaturalRiskQuietActivePursueRhythmSensitiveAccomplishedRelaxTake TimeNurtureReceptiveOutgoing Author:Shakti Gawain
“In the Western world there isn't much value given to the necessity for just being quiet. And just resting, and just being, without a focus or a goal. At least a certain amount in our lives - we don't need to do half and half; it's okay if we're doing a lot of doing, we just need some being mixed in.” IfsWorldNeedsCertainValuesGivenGoalHalfFocusOur LivesAmountQuietOkayWesternJust BeingWestern WorldBeing Quiet Author:Shakti Gawain
