“I honestly believe, and I've said it many times, that the universal stems from the specific and I can't walk around with a performance and ask everyone how they feel about it, but if noble is an opinion that people have I'll accept that.

“You know what I wonder about? This - the more details of Sven-Göran Eriksson's love life that appear in the press, the more contempt he attracts for his choice of substitutes in England games. Now, we haven't done the research, but my guess is that Sven's performances in the sack and that of his subs on the pitch are not correlated.

“I haven't seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were askedthis week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company's behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.” ArtSelfLastsCommunityCitiesCompanyWeekHavensNew YorkMembersPerformancesCorruptionHypocrisyNew York CityBalletJustificationLast TimeBehalfCouncilRequestPhilipBenefactorsMorrisSelf JustificationCity CouncilPhilip Morris Author:Anna Quindlen
“When you haven't found inner meaning, you will always substitute outer performance. It's the only way to fill that void, that sense of significance - that I am significant. So almost the degree of outer performance can, in many cases, mirror the lack of inner alignment.” WayFoundCasesHavensDegreesPerformancesMirrorsSignificantSignificanceSubstitutesVoidAlignment Author:Richard Rohr
“Relaxation, acceptance, and keeping open mind are key. First of all, peak performance isn't possible if one is not relaxed, and if one is going to stay relaxed they must simply accept problems when they arise and decide to solve them. If I can't do a move I merely accept that I haven't discovered the right sequence, instead of trying the same sequence over and over or just quitting. I will try to do it 20 or 30 different ways, making subtle changes in body position and fot placement, until I find something that does work. That's what I mean by keeping an open mind.” IfsWayTryingMindFirstsMeanDoeI CanDifferentProblemBodyMovingAcceptingHavensPositionAcceptanceKeysPerformancesSolveQuittingAriseDifferent WaysSubtleRelaxationRelaxedSequenceOpen MindKeep An Open MindPlacementPeak Performance Author:Lynn Hill
