“Frequent risk-takers have had their fair shares of failures and successes, hence, being confident in reaching their goals, they will usually seem insensitive to whether or not they look foolish or cool to other people.” PeopleLooksSeemsGoalRiskShareFairsFoolishReachingSuccess And FailureBe ConfidentInsensitiveFair Share Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“I don't like making didactic, pedagogical documentaries based on standard formulas of narration: I'm only interested in the ambitious French tradition of the documentaire de création where the film, if successful, is not about something but that something itself. The goal is to incorporate areas of risk and paradox that we associate with cinematic art.” IfsArtFilmGoalSuccessfulRiskStandardsAreasTraditionParadoxFormulasAmbitiousAssociatesDocumentariesCinematicNarrationDidactic Author:Damian Pettigrew
“You run a major risk when you assume that you alone have all the answers: You don't, and that's okay. You don't have to be afraid to admit there are certain things you either don't like to do or aren't any good at. You reach a goal by covering all your bases, and you cover all your bases by hiring good people.” PeopleRunningCertainGoalAnswersRiskMajorsOkayBasesAssumingGood PeopleCoveringHiringDelegation Book:Feminine Force: Release the Power Within You to Create the Life You Deserve Source: Feminine Force: Release the Power Within You to Create the Life You Deserve
“Essentially, not only do we believe in this myth of 'de-risking', but it has become the one overriding goal; de-risking above growth, de-risking above innovation, de-risking above everything else. And we've reached the point where the Fed is using $70 Billion a month to 'de-risk' a largely insolvent banking system. And this can only end badly. The idea that you can do capitalism without risk is ridiculous on its face.” BelieveIdeasEndsFacesGoalGrowthCan DoRiskMonthsCapitalismInnovationMythBillionsRidiculousFedsBankingBanking System Author:Andreas Antonopoulos
“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
“Love in truth-caritas in veritate-is a great challenge for the Church in a world that is becoming progressively and pervasively globalized. The risk for our time is that the de facto interdependence of people and nations is not matched by ethical interaction of consciences and minds that would give rise to truly human development. Only in charity, illumined by the light of reason and faith, is it possible to pursue development goals that possess a more humane and humanizing value.” PeopleWorldGivingMindHumansReasonLightValuesNationsGoalChallengesChurchRiskDevelopmentBecomingConscienceCharityEnvironmentalPursueOur TimeEthicalSustainabilityInteractionHumaneHuman DevelopmentInterdependenceMatched Book:Charity in Truth Source: Charity in Truth
“As the worldly philosophers of the past affirmed, the goal of economics is to improve the way society functions. In The New Financial Order, Robert Shiller joins this proud tradition by directing his brilliant economic skills toward the creation of financial institutions designed to reduce the risks an unknown future visits on most members of our society and others. Shiller's imaginative and compelling analysis will appeal to all readers who share his passion for initiating not only a richer, but a better, century.” WayPastOrderPassionGoalRiskShareEconomicCenturyCreationReaderProudSkillsMembersEconomicsTraditionFunctionInstitutionsFinancialPhilosopherBrilliantAppealsAnalysisOur SocietyCompellingWorldlyImaginativeFinancial InstitutionsUnknown Future Author:Peter L.
