“Problems are hidden opportunities and constraints can actually boost creativity. If you have some crazy ideas in your mind, and that people tell you that it's impossible to make, well, that's an even better reason to want to do it, because people have a tendency to see the problems rather than the final result, whereas if you start to deal with problems as being your allies rather than your opponents, life will start to dance with you in the most amazing way.” PeopleIfsWayWantMindWellsIdeasReasonProblemOpportunityResultsDealsCreativityImpossibleCrazyFinalsTendenciesOpponentsAlliesConstraintsBoostMost AmazingCrazy Ideas Author:Martin Villeneuve
“Greater consumption due to increase in population and growth of income heightens scarcity and induces price run-ups. A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.” IfsWayNeedsShouldDoeEndsProblemRunningOpportunityGrowthResultsGreaterFailingHigherCostSucceedIncreaseOriginalsFinalsPopulationDuesIncomeConsumptionNew WaysBetter OffInventorShortageScarcity Author:Julian Simon

“Take away material prosperity; take away emotional highs; take away miracles and healing; take away fellowship with other believers; take away church; take away all opportunity for service; take away assurance of salvation; take away the peace and joy of the Holy Spirit... Yes! Take it all, all, far, far away. And what is left? Tragically, for many believers there would be nothing left. For does our faith really go that deep? Or do we, in the final analysis, have a cross-less Christianity?” DoeWould BeJoySpiritFaithOpportunityLeftChurchReligiousHealingChristianityEmotionalMaterialsHolyCrossesMiracleSalvationFinalsProsperityBelieverAnalysisHoly SpiritFar AwayAssuranceFellowshipPeace And JoyAssurance Of Salvation Author:Mike Mason
