“How does humility manifest itself in leadership and in life? A humble person is more concerned about what is right than about being right, about acting on good ideas than having the ideas, about embracing new truth than defending outdated position, about building the team than exalting self, about recognizing contribution than being recognized for making it.” PersonsDoeIdeasSelfMotivationalActingTeamPositionHumilityBuildingConcernedHumbleContributionManifestGood IdeasRecognizingOutdatedHumble Person Book:The Speed of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything Source: The Speed of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything
“My brother had just been appointed Secretary of Nevada Territory--an office of such majesty that it concentrated in itself the duties and dignities of Treasurer, Comptroller, Secretary of State, and Acting Governor in the Governor's absence. A salary of eighteen hundred dollars a year and the title of "Mr. Secretary," gave to the great position an air of wild and imposing grandeur. I was young and ignorant, and I envied my brother.” YearsBookStatesYoungActingAirPositionBrotherDutyOfficeHundredDignityDollarsAbsenceIgnorantTitlesMy BrotherTerritoryGovernorsSecretaryMajestySalaryGrandeurEighteenImposingEnviedNevadaTreasurer Book:10 Books in 1 Source: 10 Books in 1
“I have characterized Ross as exemplifying an extreme position among theistic scientists. However, he is not so extreme as to promote the scientifically unsound notions of the young-Earth creationists and other anti-evolutionists ... They are so far off the scale that their scientific claims need not be taken seriously. Their distortions and misrepresentations of the scientific facts are not consistent with their self-righteous claims of acting to protect all that is good and moral.” NeedsSelfFactsEarthYoungActingMoralTakenPositionProtectScientistClaimsNotionScaryExtremesScalesConsistentRighteousDistortionSelf RighteousScientific FactsMisrepresentation Author:Victor J.

“One thing I've learned as an actor as well as a producer is to trust my own instinct. When I first started acting I would sometimes have ideas about certain things, whether it's a scene, or a character or certain dialogue, that wouldn't be followed. I was never in a position to have the power to press the matter. Sometimes it wasn't even about my character. But I'd watch the movie afterwards and think I was right.” ThinkingFirstsWellsIdeasSometimesMatterCharacterCertainActorsMy OwnActingWatchesOne ThingPositionScenePressesInstinctDialogueProducersI've LearnedThings I've Learned Author:Gerard Butler

“When it comes to acting, it's about creating a character and bringing forth a director's vision. It's a weird feeling, because with acting, it's just not about me.

“Early on - certainly in acting - you really have to take whatever you can get.

I recognize that.” PeopleTryingWellsDifficultActingPositionHearing Author:Oscar Isaac

“Even dramatically how you position some person, the depth, the existence [in 3D] is different than a flat image even though by itself it has depth, we create the illusion of depth. For example, some of the shots I have to stay closer to the actor because it's a young actor, I like it closer for some of the shots. I watch 2D scenes next to the camera, then when I go back to my station and watch it in 3D I have to go back and reduce his acting, he has to shrink a little bit because he peeks out more.” LittlesPersonsDifferentYoungNextActorsBitsActingExistenceWatchesExamplePositionSceneLittle BitIllusionShotsCamerasDepthFlatsStationsShrinksYoung Actors Author:Ang Lee
“Good fortune almost always makes some change in a man's behavior - in his manner of speaking and acting. It is a great weakness to want to bedeck oneself in qualities which are not his own. If he esteemed virtue above all other things, neither the favors of fortune nor the advantages of position would change a man's face or heart.” IfsMenWantHeartFacesActingQualityVirtuePositionBehaviorWeaknessAdvantageFortuneOneselfFavorsGood Fortune Author:Madeleine de Souvre, marquise de Sable
