“I'm in the action, but I'm not in the action. A lot of the interpreting I do sometimes borders on performance. It gives me a personality and a presence to show the importance of interpreters in the life of a person who is Deaf.” GivingPersonsSometimesShowsActionPersonalityPerformancesImportanceGive MeBordersDeafInterpretingInterpreter Author:Jack Jason
“An employer has no business with a man's personality. Employment is a specific contract calling for a specific performance... Any attempt to go beyond that is usurpation. It is immoral as well as an illegal intrusion of privacy. It is abuse of power. An employee owes no "loyalty," he owes no "love" and no "attitudes" - he owes performance and nothing else. .... The task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.” MenWellsPersonsAttitudeAchievePersonalityCallingTasksPerformancesAbuseLoyaltyEmploymentEmployeePrivacyIllegalContractsImmoralEmployersNo LoveAbuse Of PowerIntrusionUsurpation Author:Peter Drucker
“There are more similarities than differences when it comes to preparation of a performance. You're using some lyrics, you have a relationship with them, they apply to different parts of your life and different circumstances, different memories, different stories you have in your head. You form personal relationships with the song. I think that's very similar, in a way, to prepping a character. You pour your own personality, in a sense, into the character, you sympathize with a character in a way that's similar to the way you might sympathize with a song.” ThinkingWayDifferentCharacterStoriesMightFormSongDifferencesMemoriesPersonalityCircumstancesPerformancesPreparationSimilarityPersonal Relationships Author:Scarlett Johansson
“I am doing what I do [athletics] because the fans love it and it's a part of me, it's my personality. I think people come to see you run fast, but they also come to see a show, a performance. They want to see a personality, and that's what I give them.” PeopleThinkingWantGivingShowsRunningFansPersonalityPerformancesAthletics Author:Usain Bolt
“The gospel shows us that our spiritual problem lies not only in failing to obey God, but also in relying on our obedience to make us fully acceptable to God, ourselves and others. Every kind of character flaw comes from this natural impulse to be our own saviour through our own performance and achievement. On the one hand, proud and disdainful personalities come from basing your identity on your performance and thinking you are succeeding. But on the other hand, discouraged and self loathing personalities also come from basing your identity on your performance and thinking you are failing.” ThinkingKindSelfCharacterShowsProblemHandsSpiritualLyingNaturalFailingIdentityPersonalityProudSucceedAchievementPerformancesObedienceImpulseFlawsAcceptableDiscouragedSaviourLoathingSelf LoathingCharacter Flaws Author:Timothy Keller
“[My early performance work] started by being the activity of a person, any person, like any other - but once that person became photographed it became a specialized person, the object of a personality cult.” PersonsObjectsPersonalityActivityPerformancesCult Author:Vito Acconci
“God isn't interested in watching you enact some performance of personality in order to comply with some crackpot notion you have about how a spiritual person looks or behaves. We all seem to get this idea that, in order to be sacred, we have to make some massive, dramatic change of character, that we have to renounce our individuality.” LooksPersonsIdeasCharacterSeemsSpiritualOrderPersonalityPerformancesSacredNotionIndividualityBehaveDramaticMassiveRenounceCrackpotsDramatic Change Book:Eat Pray Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Source: Eat Pray Love: One Woman's Search for Everything
