“Philosophy, like science, consists of theories or insights arrived at as a result of systemic reflection or reasoning in regard to the data of experience. It involves, therefore, the analysis of experience and the synthesis of the results of analysis into a comprehensive or unitary conception. Philosophy seeks a totality and harmony of reasoned insight into the nature and meaning of all the principal aspects of reality.” PhilosophyRealityResultsTheoryReflectionAspectHarmonyRegardInsightDataAnalysisReasoningConceptionPrincipalComprehensiveTotalitySynthesis Author:Joseph Alexander Leighton
“The principal task is to put spiritual foundations under both our child's life and our own. This triggers a shift in the elemental way in which we relate to our children, with the result that their behavior automatically falls in line as they become aware of, and true to, who they really are. Behavioral changes are an outgrowth of a shift in the relationship.” WayChildrenSpiritualFallLinesResultsBehaviorTasksOur ChildrenFoundationRelatePrincipalTriggersElementalsBehavioral Change Author:Shefali Tsabary
“It is always amazing to see how wide a spectrum of results can be obtained from replicating an identical negotiation with different principal actors; it makes no difference whether there subjects are inexperienced or whether they are senior executives and young presidents of business firms. That is an important lesson to be learned here.” ImportantDifferentYoungActorsPresidentDifferencesResultsSubjectsLessonsWideFirmExecutivesPrincipalSeniorNegotiationSpectrumIdenticalImportant LessonsLessons To Be Learned Book:The Art and Science of Negotiation Source: The Art and Science of Negotiation
“I know we can fix our problems. When there are people in the room who care more about doing the job they were elected to do than they worry about winning reelection, it is possible to work together, achieve principal compromise, and get results for the people who give us these jobs in the first place.” PeopleKnowsGivingFirstsProblemCareTogetherJobsWinningRoomsResultsWorryAchieveCompromiseWorking TogetherPrincipalWho CaresReelection Author:Chris Christie

“Common sense … has the very curious property of being more correct retrospectively than prospectively. It seems to me that one of the principal criteria to be applied to successful science is that its results are almost always obvious retrospectively; unfortunately, they seldom are prospectively. Common sense provides a kind of ultimate validation after science has completed its work; it seldom anticipates what science is going to discover.” KindSeemsResultsCommonSuccessfulUltimatePropertyObviousCommon SenseCuriousWorking ItPrincipalCriteriaAnticipateValidation Author:Russell L.
