“The minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can mold it. That's maybe the most important thing. It's to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it. I think that's very important and however you learn that, once you learn it, you'll want to change life and make it better, cause it's kind of messed up, in a lot of ways. Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.” ThinkingWayWantKindImportantLife IsCausesSidesMinutesMarkImportant ThingsEmbraceNotionPopsLife ChangingShakesVersusMoldMessed UpPoke Author:Steve Jobs
“I think the important thing about sisters is that they share the same minute, familiar life-style, the same little sets of rules. Therefore they can keep house with each other late in life, because they share the same bunch of housewifely prejudices. The important thing about women today is, as they get older, they still keep house. It's one reason they don't die, but men die when they retire.

“I like to think in camera, but at the last minute the most important thing is that there is something happening between the actors.

“I think the most important thing when you are in a competition and you have, let's say, ingredients you have to use make something you did already because none of the judges, you know, probably had it in our lifetime, so I think do something you feel confident with, not something completely new where you are not sure how many hours or how many minutes you have to cook it or if the seasoning is right or if the combinations of spices and herbs are right.” IfsThinkingKnowsFeelsImportantUseHoursMinutesJudgingImportant ThingsCompetitionLifetimeCombinationCooksNot SureIngredientsWhere You AreSpicesHerbsSeasoning Author:Wolfgang Puck
