“Now Mitt is not a perfect candidate. He has a number of problems. It's hard for him, for blue collar families like mine to identify with him.

“Many of life's decisions are hard. What kind of career should you pursue? Does your ailing mother need to be put in a nursing home? You and your spouse already have two kids; should you have a third?such decisions are hard for a number of reasons. For one the stakes are high. There's also a great deal of uncertainty involved. Above all, decisions like these are rare, which means you don't get much practice making them. You've probably gotten good at buying groceries, since you do it so often, but buying your first house is another thing entirely.” NeedsShouldFirstsKindMeanDoeTwoHardReasonHomeKidsMotherHouseDecisionDealsNumbersCareersPracticeInvolvedThirdsPursueUncertaintyBuyingStakesSpouseNursingGroceriesNursing Home Author:Steven Levitt

“Imagism was a reductio ad absurdum of one or two tendencies of romanticism, such a beautifully and finally absurd one that it is hard to believe it existed as anything but a logical construction; and what imagist found it possible to go on writing imagist poetry? A number of poets have stopped writing entirely; others, like recurring decimals, repeat the novelties they commeced with, each time less valuably than before. And there are surrealist poetry, and political poetry, and all the othe refuges of the indigent.” WritingBelieveTwoHardPoliticalFoundNumbersPoetGoes OnAbsurdTendenciesRepeatsLogicalAdsConstructionRefugeNoveltyRomanticismHard To BelieveRecurringSurrealistDecimals Author:Randall Jarrell

“The number one metaphor I have in my mind for writing a screenplay is that...you're trying to climb a mountain blindfolded. And the funny thing about that is, you think, 'Okay, that's hard because you're climbing up a rock face, and you don't know where you're going, and you don't know where the top is, you can't see what's below you...' But actually the hardest part about climbing a mountain blindfolded is just finding the mountain.” ThinkingKnowsWritingTryingMindHardFacesNumbersRocksMountainFindingsOkayMetaphorHardestClimbsClimbingFunny ThingsScreenplaysClimbing MountainBlindfoldedClimbing Up Author:Michael Arndt
“Some years ago a top Ford official was showing the late Walter Reuther through the very automates plant in Cleveland, Ohio and he said to him jokingly, "Walter, you'll have a hard time collecting union dues from these machines." and Walter said, "you are going to have more trouble trying to sell automobiles to them." Both of them let it stop there. There was a logical answer to that ... the owners of the machines could buy automobiles and if you increase the number of owners you increase the number of consumers.” IfsTryingYearsSaidHardWisdomPoliticsAnswersNumbersEconomyTroubleLateYears AgoMachinesIncreaseSellsUnionsPlantDuesConsumersOfficialsHard TimesLiberalismOwnersLogicalCollectingAutomobileOhioClevelandCleveland Ohio Author:Ronald Reagan
