“Making a programme that appears to condone a positive stereotype actually enforces all the negative ones as well. It says that they all have a valid point. To assert that Americans are naive, Germans humourless and the French arrogant is one thing: they're big enough to take it. But to say that there's a conspiracy of Jewish bankers, that gypsies are thieves, Pakistanis are dirty and refugees are muggers is something quite else.” WellsEnoughBigsOne ThingTelevisionNegativeDirtyConspiracyArrogantThievesStereotypeRefugeeNaiveBankersGypsyProgrammesMuggers Author:A.

“There is something about giving everything to your profession. In Italian, an obsession is not necessarily negative.

“There is one thing of which I can assure you. If good performance of the fund is even a minor objective, any portfolio encompassing one hundred stocks (whether the manager is handling one thousand dollars or one billion dollars) is not being operated logically. The addition of the one hundredth stock simply can't reduce the potential variance in portfolio performance sufficiently to compensate for the negative effect its inclusion has on the overall portfolio expectation.” IfsI CanOne ThingEffectsThousandExpectationsHundredNegativePerformancesDollarsBillionsObjectivesManagersFundInclusionMinorsPortfoliosVariance Author:Warren Buffett
“One thing about having mostly absent parents that I think was perhaps "good" for the development of my intellect/writing is that I was given almost total freedom to read/write/look at whatever I wanted. I wonder a lot about how my past experiences, particularly my negative childhood (home life and being severely bullied/ostracized throughout school) as formed my/my thoughts/my writing, though I should also note those things were far from the only thing that had an impact on me/my writing.” ThinkingShouldWritingLooksHomeWantedSchoolPastGivenParentWonderOne ThingChildhoodDevelopmentNegativeImpactNotesIntellectMy ThoughtsAbsentMy PastBulliedPast ExperiencesHome LifeFreedom To ReadChildhood Home Author:Marie Calloway
