“Every day I get to 'Think' and work on everything from digitizing electric grids so they can accommodate renewable energy and enable mass adoption of electric cars, helping major cities reduce congestion and pollution, to developing new micro-finance programs that help tiny businesses get started in markets such as Brazil, India, Africa.” ThinkingHelpingEnergyCitiesCarMajorsMassProgramIndiaTinyFinanceDevelopingPollutionElectricAdoptionBrazilAccommodateRenewable EnergyGridsCongestionElectric Car Author:Ginni Rometty
“My own field of paleontology has strongly challenged the Darwinian premise that life's major transformations can be explained by adding up, through the immensity of geological time, the successive tiny changes produced generation after generation by natural selection.” NaturalMy OwnGenerationsFieldsMajorsTransformationTinySelectionPremisesNatural SelectionImmensityPaleontologyGeological Time Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“I always feel bad for those who, in a sense, cede their authority to others, let others make major decisions about their life and actually believe them. When you're tiny, you have no choice. But as soon as your mind starts working, you pretty well figure it out. And you realize you're a hostage until you're old enough to leave. But as long as you have that goal - I will get out of here - you'll be OK.” FeelsMindBelieveWellsLongEnoughChoicesGoalRealizingDecisionFiguresAuthorityMajorsTinyHostage Author:Rita Mae Brown
“What would happen if the moon were not there? Then our tilt could swing wildly over a large range, resulting in major temperature swings. If our tilt were more like ninety degrees, the north pole would be exposed to the sun for six months, while the south pole would be in darkness, then vice-versa. Instead, it varies by only about one and a half degrees - just a tiny variation, because the gravity from the moon's orbit keeps it stabilized.” IfsHappensWould BeHalfDarknessSunMonthsMoonDegreesSixMajorsSouthVicesTinyRangeExposedGravitySwingsSix MonthsNinetyTemperatureVariationVaryVice VersaOrbitTiltNorth Pole Author:Guillermo Gonzalez
“It was good but it was just a tiny bit uncomfortable because it was a day of lying in the bushes and I think I got a major muscle thing going on there! But it was good. It was fun. That is one of the things you get to do in film that you don't do, or that I don't do, in real life. I can't speak for Dermot [Mulroney]! But it was fun.” ThinkingI CanRealFilmLyingSpeakFunBitsMajorsTinyReal LifeUncomfortableMuscles Author:Mia Wasikowska
“I think we've come to a kind of splinter period in poetry. These tiny little bright fragments of observation - and not produced under sufficient pressure - some of it's very skillful, but I don't think there's anywhere a discernible major poet in the process of emerging; or if he is, I ain't seen him.” IfsThinkingKindLittlesProcessPoetPeriodsMajorsPressureTinyObservationSufficientFragmentsEmergingSkillfulSplinters Author:Conrad Aiken
