“What happened to us in September, 2001, is a microcosmic but painful and powerful example of the fact we live in an inter-dependent world that is not yet an integrated global community.” WorldFactsCommunityPowerfulHappenedExamplePainfulDependentSeptemberIntegratedGlobal Community Author:William J.

“I interviewed one of the most powerful lawyers in the world and he told me, "At the time, it was the worst thing in the world not to be able to get a job at a fancy law firm, but it's the greatest thing that ever happened in my life." It was a humble acknowledgment of how forces much larger than himself shaped his career. I really wanted to bring that point home.” WorldHomeAbleWantedJobsLawForcePowerfulCareersHappenedWorstHumbleLawyerFirmFancyMost PowerfulWorst ThingsAcknowledgmentLaw Firms Author:Malcolm Gladwell
“Now here is a key: you want to make it real and present in the realm of your consciousness. You don't say "I'm going to do such and such" - it already has happened. Now, is consciousness real? It exists and it is very powerful. The idea is to have this mesh between your consciousness - your visualization - and the so-called material world.” WorldWantIdeasRealPowerfulConsciousnessHappenedMaterialsKeysRealmsVery PowerfulVisualizationMaterial WorldMesh Author:George Leonard
“Before receiving your instruction, I must tell you what happened to me one day. I had just had a closet built at the end of my garden. I heard a mole arguing with a cockchafer; 'Here's a fine structure,' said the mole, 'it must have been a very powerful mole who did this work.' 'You're joking,' said the cockchafer; 'it's a cockchafer full of genius who is the architect of this building.' From that moment I resolved never to argue.” Has BeensSaidEndsMomentsPowerfulHappenedHeardAtheismBuildingFineGeniusOne DayBuiltGardenStructurePositive AtheismArguingThat MomentArchitectInstructionReceivingClosetsVery PowerfulMoles Author:Voltaire
“It is the most powerful submission in the sport. It is a beautiful thing. You're holding them into you, their back is on you, and you are basically choking them gradually like a boa constrictor and once you've got them, the pressure goes on and they have to submit or they are going to stop breathing. It happened to me early in my career, and I panicked, and gave in, I tapped out too early. I learned a lot from that. I learned from it, learned how to do the move better, learned how to avoid it being done to me.” DoneBeautifulMovingSportsPowerfulCareersHappenedGoes OnPressureBreathingMost PowerfulSubmitBeautiful ThingsSubmissionChokeBeing Done Author:Conor McGregor
“I talk to people who go to rehab, and they get this AA book that they've got to read everyday - really thick book. They go through all these 12 steps and do all this and that. It's crazy how everybody can sit and talk about rehab but if I come to say Christ was my rehab, it's not cool to say that. ... For me that's my rehab. That's what happened with me and it's an amazing and powerful thing.” PeopleIfsBookChristPowerfulStepsHappenedCrazyEverydayThickRehab12 Step Author:Reginald Arvizu
