“From the beginning it was drilled into me that a golf course was a place where character fully reveals itself -- both its strengths and its flaws. As a result, I learned early not only to fix my ball marks but also to congratulate an opponent on a good shot, avoid walking ahead of a player preparing to shoot, remain perfectly still when someone else was playing, and a score of other small courtesies that revealed, in my father's mind, one's abiding respect for the game.” MindStillsCharacterCoursesFatherGamesResultsPlayerWalkingShotsBallsMarkGolfOpponentsScoreFlawsPreparingCourtesyAbidingGolf Course Author:Arnold Palmer
“London always reminds me of a brain. It is similarly convoluted and circuitous. A lot of cities, especially American ones like New York and Chicago, are laid out in straight lines. Like the circuits on computer chips, there are a lot of right angles in cities like this. But London is a glorious mess. It evolved from a score or so of distinct villages, that merged and meshed as their boundaries enlarged. As a result, London is a labyrinth, full of turnings and twistings just like a brain.” LinesResultsCitiesBrainNew YorkComputerLondonBoundariesMessGloriousScoreVillageChicagoAngleChipsLabyrinthCircuitsStraight LinesConvoluted Author:James Geary
“Today's parents have little authority over those others with whom they share the task of raising their children. On the contrary,most parents deal with those others from a position of inferiority or helplessness. Teacher, doctors, social workers, or television producers possess more status than most parents.... As a result, the parent today isa maestro trying to conduct an orchestra of players who have never met and who play from a multitude of different scores, each in a notation the conductor cannot read.” TryingChildrenLittlesDifferentPlayTodaySocialParentResultsDealsTeacherPlayerSharePositionTelevisionMetsAuthorityTasksDoctorsWorkersContraryProducersScoreMultitudesOrchestraHelplessnessInferiorityConductorSocial WorkerMaestro Author:Kenneth Keniston
