“With comedy, it's a combination of knowing the comedic beat was good - it made you laugh, it made people on the crew laugh. With drama, you do something deep and if your stuff was really effective, the ultimate result is silence. Silence is not necessarily... that would also be the result if you sucked.” PeopleIfsMadeStuffResultsSilenceLaughingKnowingComedyDramaBeatsUltimateCombinationCrewSilence IsComedic Author:Chris Pratt
“I, Tivadar Kosztka, who gave up his prime of youth for the rebirth of the world, accepting the call of the invisible Spirit, had a regular civil job, comfort, wealth then... Going to Paris in 1907 I oppositely standed alone in front of millions with only the result of the divine providence, and I beat the vanity of the world hollow, but I haven't killed 10 million people, only sobered them. I haven't made commercials from things, because I didn't care for the pedlar's press; I retired from the world instead, going to the top of the Lebanons, and I painted cedars.” PeopleWorldMadeCareJobsSpiritWealthResultsAcceptingMillionsFrontsHavensYouthDivineComfortBeatsPressesInvisibleVanityParisPrimeProvidenceRebirthRetiredHollowGave UpLebanonDivine ProvidenceCedars Author:Tivadar Kosztka Csontvary
“The talk of sheltering woman from the fierce storms of life is the sheerest mockery, for they beat on her from every point of thecompass, just as they do on man, and with more fatal results, for he has been trained to protect himself, to resist, to conquer.” MenHas BeensLife IsResultsProtectBeatsStormConquerHardshipFierceMockeryStorms Of Life Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton
“A minuscule 4 percent of funds produce market-beating after-tax results with a scant 0.6 percent (annual) margin of gain.

“It can be shown that maximum diversification is achieved by holding each stock in proportion to its value to the entire market (italics added)... Hindsight plays tricks on our minds... often distorts the past and encourages us to play hunches and outguess other investors, who in turn are playing the same game. For most of us, trying to beat the market leads to disastrous results... our actions lead to much lower returns than can be achieved by just staying in the market.” TryingMindPlayActionPastValuesTurnsGamesResultsReturnBeatsInvestingTricksProportionStayingInvestorsMaximumOur ActionsHindsightHunchesDiversification Author:Jeremy Siegel
“Usually, I make a simple beat, throw in the acapella, and then I just improvise on the piano. Whatever comes up, I record the result, and I rework on it. Sometimes it takes a while to come with an idea, but mostly it comes naturally because I already have a connection with the song.” IdeasSometimesSongSimpleResultsRecordsBeatsConnectionsCome UpPianoRework Author:Shook
“Even after rowing in all these pieces, it's often hard to determine who will be selected because the decisive factor in seat racing is speed not margin. Boat X beats boat Y by two lengths over 1000 meters in a time of 2:54. After exchanging "Dave" from X to Y for "Scott," Boat X beats boat Y by one length in a time of 2:51. From the rower's perspective, the result is that Dave beats Scott by a length. But in Mike's eyes, Scott beats Dave because on the second piece, X was three seconds faster-even though it only beat Y by a length.” TwoHardEyeThreeResultsPiecesPerspectiveBeatsDetermineSpeedFactorsBoatFasterSeatsLengthSecondsRacingMikeMarginsSelectedMeterRowingDaveExchanging Author:Chris Ahrens
