“When I came overseas, I realized that there are many ideologies and many trends, and it's also very hard to produce honest art and honest literature. I decided that I didn't want to follow any of these ideologies or trends, because that's also a kind of pressure that doesn't allow absolute freedom. So I decided that I was only going to produce works that were satisfactory to me, and that meant not following any trends and being anti-ideological.” WantKindArtHardLiteratureHonestProduceDecidedAbsolutesPressureFollowingI RealizedIdeologyTrendsIdeologicalAbsolute Freedom Author:Gao Xingjian
“When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought, " When I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars. I want to have groupies." But my idea of success is different today. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.” WorldWayWantGivingTryingPersonsImportantIdeasDifferentMotivationalTodaySuccessLife IsPurposeStarsGrowsGrowing UpNiceHonestCarIntegrityPressureImportant ThingsCompassionatePeersLive Your LifeGiving BackPeer PressureGroupieNice CarsImportant Things In Your Life Author:Ellen DeGeneres
“I am happy that we are not favorites. To be very honest it's big pressure of being favorites. We were not favorites last time (in 2011) too but we played excellent cricket. Similarly this time, there are teams which play on those bouncy wickets like Australia and South Africa, and are probably bigger favorites than us. But we hope that with the type of resources we have we can do well.” WellsPlayBigsLastsCan DoTeamHonestTypeResourcesBiggerPressureSouthExcellentAustraliaSouth AfricaLast TimeCricket Author:Waqar Younis
“There is more to American politics than fat cats and their political friends. There are serious-minded liberals who fight the good fight on many issues, ecologically oriented politicians who remain true to their cause, and honest people of every political stripe who are not beholden to any wealthy people. But there are not enough of them, and they are often worn down by the constant pressure from lobbyists, lawyers and conventional politicians.” PeopleEnoughPoliticalFightingCausesIssuesHonestHonestySeriousPoliticianCatPressureConstantLawyerFatsWealthyConventionalWornAmerican PoliticsStripesLobbyistsGood FightHonest PeopleFight The Good Fight Author:G.

“To be perfectly honest, I like pressure. It's something I find exciting. And I am the kind of personality that gets very bored very easily. The work I try and involve myself with is ordinarily determined by how much it sort of frightens me.” TryingKindHonestPersonalityExcitingPressureDeterminedBored Author:Taron Egerton
“Meaning can be usually be approximated, but often by sacrificing style. When I review my translations into Spanish, that's what I'm most concerned with, reading the sentences aloud in Spanish to make sure they sound the way I want them to. To be honest, I much prefer being translated into Greek or Japanese; in those cases, you have no way of being involved, and no pressure.” WayWantReadingSoundCasesSacrificeHonestStyleInvolvedConcernedPressureSentencesBeing HonestGreekReviewsTranslationsNo Pressure Author:Daniel Alarcon
“We're being asked to continually be "authentic" and "honest" with the world through social media. There's a demand to post our wedding pictures, baby pictures (only minutes after the birth), our relationship status, and our grief and joys on Facebook and Instagram. Similarly, we construct persona through dating apps and networking sites. All of these social media networks exert pressure on us to share the personal details of our lives with unknown masses. So the pressure on the characters in "Openness" isn't merely romantic, but public/social as well.” WorldWellsCharacterJoySocialGriefOur LivesShareMinutesHonestMediaBabyBirthDemandMassDatingPressureDetailsSocial MediaPostsOpennessOur RelationshipSiteConstructsNetworkingInstagramPersonaAppsOur WeddingNetworking SitesBaby PicturesWedding Pictures Author:Alexander Weinstein
