Part of what strengthens this new way of being comes from us having co-internalized one another. We continue to be their reflective companion on the outside, and they will also feel how we continue to carry them with us in our inner world.

There can be a sense of the person under consideration becoming a static object to be analyzed, and then advice may be offered about how that person could/should be shaped in a certain (presumably healthier) way.”

“There are people who get things done and those who expect others to do for them. Some rise to the occasion, while others let opportunities pass them by. A responsible person stands behind their choices and doesn't look for someone to blame. The true measure of a man lies in his ability to size up take charge of and create his own destiny.”

“You may be an expert in environmental protection policy, but when it comes to science, you're an amateur. How much do you actually know about undersea resource development? If you truly want to come up with a solution that allows both, you'll need to have the same amount of knowledge and experience with both. It's arrogant to think that knowing only one is sufficient.
