“Dr. Bonar once said that he could tell when a Christian was growing. In proportion to his growth in grace he would elevate his Master, talk less of what he himself was doing, and become smaller and smaller in his own esteem, until, like the morning star, he faded away before the rising sun.” SaidChristianStarsGrowthMorningSunGraceGrowingMastersEsteemRisingProportionDrsFaded Author:Dwight L.

“Principles are concepts that can be applied over and over again in similar circumstances as distinct from narrow answers to specific questions. Every game has principles that successful players master to achieve winning results. So does life. Principles are ways of successfully dealing with the laws of nature or the laws of life. Those who understand more of them and understand them well know how to interact with the world more effectively than those who know fewer of them or know them less well.” KnowsWorldWayLifeWellsDoeLawGamesWinningGrowthAnswersResultsPrinciplesKnow HowSuccessfulPlayerAchieveMastersCircumstancesConceptsPersonal GrowthInvestingFewerLaws Of NatureLaws Of Life Author:Ray Dalio
“The study of how substances alter gene expression is part of the field of epigenetics. Some chemical exposures appear to turn on and turn off genes in ways that disregulate cell growth and predispose for cancer. From this perspective, our genes are less the command-and-control masters of our cells and more like the keys of piano, with the environment as the hands of the pianist.” WayHandsTurnsGrowthStudyEnvironmentFieldsExpressionMastersPerspectiveKeysEnvironmentalCancerCommandCellsSubstancePianoChemicalsGenesPollutionExposureTurn-onPianistTurn OffCommand And Control Book:Living Downstream: An Ecologist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment Source: Living Downstream: An Ecologist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment
