“Our government should work for us, not against us. It should help us, not hurt us. It should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work. That's the promise of America - the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper.” ShouldIdeasHelpingGovernmentAmericaFallOpportunityBeliefNationsHurtInfluenceWillingBrotherPromiseResponsibleFundamentalsMy BrotherMy SisterKeepersMy Sister's Keeper Author:Barack Obama
“You know, we have moments of passion when we are in pain. And then of course the moment ends, and with it the passion and the pain, and we forgive and forget. But I think that every time you hurt somebody that you care for, a crack appears in your relationship, a little weakening - and it stays there, dangerous, waiting for the next opportunity to open up and destroy everything.” ThinkingKnowsLittlesEndsMomentsCarePainPassionCoursesNextOpportunityWaitingHurtForgetDangerousForgivingCracksOur RelationshipWeakeningForgive And Forget Author:Edith Hahn Beer
“Love is hard to offend and quick to forgive. How easily do you get irritated and offended? Some people live by the motto, “Never pass up an opportunity to get upset with your spouse.” When something goes wrong, they quickly take full advantage of it by expressing how hurt or frustrated they are. But this is the opposite reaction of love.” PeopleHardOpportunityHurtLove IsAdvantageOppositesForgivingReactionsUpsetLive ByFrustratedSpouseMottoOffendedIrritatedLove Is Hard Book:The Love Dare Source: The Love Dare

“We can carry the burden of hurt throughout our lives. We can make the hurt that we have experienced the defining aspect of our stories of ourselves. That means that somebody else gets to say who we are, somebody else gets to decide how we feel, and somebody else gets to decide how we see the world. Forgiveness not only frees us from the burden of someone else's opinion of us, but it allows us the opportunity to really write a story of ourselves that we can love, enjoy, relish, and live into.” WorldFeelsWritingMeanStoriesOpportunityEnjoyHurtOpinionOur LivesAspectBurdenWho We AreDefiningRelish Author:Desmond Tutu
“Showing weakness will encourage your opponents. It inspires them. It encourages them to hit harder. To come faster. But when you don't show any fear, or when you don't show any hurt, you have the opportunity to discourage your opponent. You discourage your enemies. The bottom line is, if you think properly, you don't even have to think about all of that. All you have to think about is that guy across from me is human, and so am I. And he'll never out-work me. He'll never out-think me. And if you can't out-work me, and you can't out-think me, you'll never beat me.” IfsThinkingHumansShowsGuyOpportunityHurtLinesEnemyInspireBeatsWeaknessHarderBottomFasterOpponentsBottom LineDiscouragingThat Guy Author:Jim Brown

Hold that person in high esteem, and make full use of the opportunity to eradicate your defects and make progress on the path.

“I always want to make films. I think of it as a great opportunity to comment on the world in which we live. Perhaps just because I just came off "The Hurt Locker" (2008) and I'm thinking of the war and I think it's a deplorable situation. It's a great medium in which to speak about that. This is a war that cannot be won, why are we sending troops over there? Well, the only medium I have, the only opportunity I have, is to use film.

“There's another aspect about the Seventies. Blazing Saddles, as wonderful as it was, sort of hurt the Western. It made such fun of them, that you almost couldn't take them seriously from that point on. That's why only Westerns that had the stink of Watergate or Vietnam could be taken seriously. There were so few Westerns made since then, from the Eighties on, that the few directors who did were so pleased with themselves and so happy to have the opportunity that they got lost in visuals, they got lost in the vistas and the pretty scenery.” MadeOpportunityLostFunHurtTakenWonderfulDirectorsAspectWesternVisualsVietnamSeventiesEightySceneryStinkBlazingVistasSaddlesWatergate Author:Quentin Tarantino

“It hurts to see that everything on television is based on pillaring people. Nobody's sort of given the opportunity to be nice anymore. I think that is somewhat reflective of tragically the society that we live in today where we want to know people off their pedestal or we want to hurt, we want to harm instead of boosting and following by example.

“Separate out the creative act from the act of editing and execution. Make it a two-step process. First, let ideas flow and encourage EVERY idea to make it to the whiteboard. Don't criticize, judge, edit, budget, or worry. An idea on the wall can't hurt anyone, so let them rip without restriction. After any and all ideas have the opportunity to "come out to play", only then should you apply your analytical and logical side to the effort. Don't mix the creative process with the editing process or you'll kill your ideas before they even get a fighting chance.” FightingOpportunityHurtChanceEffortWorryCreativeJudgingWallLogicalCriticizeCreative ProcessRip Author:Josh Linkner
