“Ten years ago I was not heavily involved in the film world but on reflection it was a boom time with the mineral boom happening, so there was immense growth for industrial training films, documentaries to do with the mining, and the outback world.” WorldYearsFilmGrowthInvolvedTenTrainingHappeningsReflectionYears AgoImmenseDocumentariesMineralsMining Author:Ann Macbeth
“To be disciplined does not mean being silent, abstaining, or doing only what one thinks one may undertake without risk; it is not the art of eluding responsibility; it means acting in compliance with orders received, and therefore finding in one's own mind, by effort and reflection, the possibility to carry out such orders. It also means finding in one's own will the energy to face the risks involved in execution.” ThinkingMindMayMeanDoeArtFacesOrderEnergyEffortActingResponsibilityRiskPossibilityInvolvedFindingsReflectionSilentExecutionRisk ItComplianceAbstaining Author:Ferdinand Foch
“The process of philosophizing, to my mind, consists mainly in passing from those obvious, vague, ambiguous things, that we feel quite sure of, to something precise, clear, definite, which by reflection and analysis we find is involved in the vague thing that we start from, and is, so to speak, the real truth of which that vague thing is a sort of shadow.” FeelsMindRealSpeakProcessClearInvolvedReflectionShadowPhilosophicalObviousPassingPassingsAnalysisDefiniteVaguePreciseAmbiguousReal Truth Book:Russell's Logical atomism Source: Russell's Logical atomism

“Lester del Rey told me repeatedly that the first and most important part of writing fiction is just to think about the story. Don't write anything down. Don't try to pull anything together right away. Just dream for a while and see what happens. There isn't any timetable involved, no measuring stick for how long it ought to take. For each book, it is different. But that period of thinking, of reflection, is crucial to how successful your story will turn out to be.” ThinkingWritingTryingFirstsLongImportantBookDifferentStoriesDreamHappensTogetherTurnsFictionSuccessfulOughtInvolvedPeriodsReflectionSticksCrucialMeasuringWriting FictionTimetables Author:Terry Brooks
“Twitter for me is a form of entertainment for the followers and it's also a source of information. I try to tweet things that I think might make people smile, or to share information that I want to get across, like an event like this that can inspire other people to get involved. I try to mix it up. I think that is a reflection of me - a family man, an actor, and a philanthropist.” PeopleThinkingMenWantTryingMightFormActorsShareEventsInformationInspireSourceInvolvedReflectionEntertainmentFollowersGet InvolvedTweetInspire OthersPhilanthropistFamily ManMake People Smile Author:Peter Facinelli
“Desperation precludes reflection. That is one of the reasons why smart people can get involved in very obviously unworkable relationships. Like addiction, that deep, Imago attachment is more powerful than logic, and in fact disables logic. So, any explanation or analysis or reflection on such a feeling is already many steps removed from the experience.” PeopleReasonFactsFeelingsPowerfulStepsInvolvedSmartReflectionLogicAddictionReason WhyAnalysisExplanationAttachmentDesperationGet InvolvedSmart People Author:Melissa Febos
“Why are all reflections lovelier than what we call reality? -- not so grand or so strong, it may be, but always lovelier? Fair as is the gliding sloop on the shining sea, the wavering, trembling, unresting sail below is fairer still...All mirrors are magic mirrors. The commonest room is a room in a poem when I turn to the glass...There must be a truth involved in it, though we may but in part lay hold of the meaning.” MayStillsRealityTurnsStrongRoomsMagicSeaInvolvedReflectionFairsMirrorsLaysShiningGlassesSailTremblingWaveringGliding Author:George MacDonald
“I mean not to accuse any one, but to take the shame upon myself, in common, indeed, with the whole parliament of Great Britain, for having suffered this horrid trade to be carried on under their authority. We are all guilty—we ought all to plead guilty, and not to exculpate ourselves by throwing the blame on others; and I therefore deprecate every kind of reflection against the various descriptions of people who are more immediately involved in this wretched business.” PeopleKindMeanWholeCommonOughtInvolvedAuthorityReflectionShameBlameTradeVariousGuiltyBritainDescriptionThrowingParliamentWretchedGreat Britain Author:William Wilberforce
