“The photographic enthusiast likes to lure us into a darkened room in order to display his slides on a silver screen. Aided by the adaptability of the eye and by the borrowed light from the intense projector bulb, he can achieve those relationships in brightness that will make us dutifully admire the wonderful autumn tints he photographed on his latest trip. As soon as we look at a print of these photographs by day, the light seems to go out of them. It is one of the miracles of art that the same does not happen there.” LooksDoeArtLightSeemsHappensEyeOrderRoomsWonderfulAchieveMiraclePhotographScreensLikesIntenseAdmireSilverAutumnPrintDisplaySlidesBorrowedBrightnessAdaptabilityLureBulbsProjectors Author:Ernst Gombrich

“Perhaps the most important thing I could say is to never be thrown by failure and mistakes. Each and everything that happens, even if it was not what you hoped would happen, is a valuable, life-learning tool. And you will only achieve success if you know how to learn from your failures and mistakes. It’s vital.” IfsKnowsImportantHappensMistakeKnow HowAchieveToolsImportant ThingsValuableThrownLife LearningValuable Life Author:Christiane Amanpour
“I believe in only one thing and that thing is human liberty. If ever a man is to achieve anything like dignity, it can happen only if superior men are given absolute freedom to think what they want to think and say what they want to say. I am against any man and any organization which seeks to limit or deny that freedom ... the superior man can be sure of freedom only if it is given to all men.” IfsThinkingMenWantHappensGivenAchieveDignityAbsolutesSuperiorsSuperior ManAbsolute Freedom Author:H.

“I grew up in the theater, and you can't improvise Shakespeare and Ibsen. You have to speak the language. But obviously, in a contemporary film, there's often room for improvisation and spontaneous things that happen. As long as I know what I'm trying to achieve in the scene, and when something comes up, I know that the response is genuine, I'm comfortable. That's really how I build everything.” KnowsTryingLongHappensFilmSpeakLanguageRoomsAchieveGrewSceneComfortableGrew UpTheaterResponseCome UpGenuineContemporarySpontaneousImprovisationIbsen Author:Victor Garber
“Most people think leadership is about being in charge. Most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room. The irony is that it is the complete opposite. Leadership is about empowering others to achieve things they did not think possible. Leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. Then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.” PeopleThinkingWorldPersonsDoeHelpingHappensAnswersRoomsVisionAchieveOppositesIntelligentAskingIronyEmpoweringPointingQualifiedIntelligent PersonArticulatingEmpowering OthersComplete Opposites Author:Simon Sinek
