“Teen girls are figuring out what they want out of life and who they want to be. They are becoming more and more independent, and are starting to make decisions that will affect them now and into the future. Combine this new responsibility with all the stress and pressures in their lives and the result, unfortunately, can be substance abuse.” WantGirlDecisionResultsResponsibilityBecomingAbuseStressPressureIndependentStartingSubstanceBecoming MoreSubstance Abuse Author:Atoosa Rubenstein
“As a result of changes which, over the last century, have modified our empirically based pictures of the world and hence the moral value of many of its elements, the "human religious ideal" inclines to stress certain tendencies and to express itself in terms which seem, at first sight, no longer to coincide with the "christian religious ideal".” WorldFirstsHumansSeemsChristianLastsCertainValuesTermReligiousResultsMoralCenturyElementsIdealsSightStressTendenciesMoral ValuesIncline Book:The Divine Milieu Source: The Divine Milieu

“You must learn to look at people who are angry with you straight in the eye without getting angry back. When children see their parents treating them this way, they then recognize the parents' authority. It speaks louder than words. Their new respect for the parents is as good for them as it is for the parents. It never works to demand respect of children. It must be given willingly as a result of strength of good character in the parents, which is manifested by their non-reaction to stress in the children.” PeopleWayLooksChildrenCharacterEyeSpeakGivenParentResultsDemandAuthorityStressAngryReactionsBack WhenGood Character Author:Roy Masters
“In general, I feel, or I have come to feel, that the richest writing comes not from the people who dedicate themselves to writing alone. I know this is contradicted again and again but I continue to feel it. They don't, of course, write as much, or as fast, but I think it is riper and more satisfying when it does come. One of the difficulties of writing or doing any kind of creative work in America seems to me to be that we put such stress on production and material results. We put a time pressure and a mass pressure on creative work which are meaningless and infantile in that field.” PeopleThinkingKnowsFeelsWritingKindDoeSeemsAmericaCoursesResultsCreativeFieldsMaterialsMassDifficultyStressPressureProductionsSatisfyingMeaninglessAgain And AgainCreative WorkInfantileDifficulty Of Writing Author:Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“A married guy is responsible for everything, no matter what. Women, thanks to their having been oppressed all these years, are blameless, free as birds, and all the dirt they do is the result of premenstrual syndrome or postmenstrual stress or menopause or emotional disempowerment by their fathers or low expectations by their teachers or latent unspoken sexual harassment in the workplace, or some other airy excuse. The guy alone is responsible for every day of marriage that is less than marvelous and meaningful.” YearsMatterGuyFatherResultsTeacherEmotionalMarriedLowsBirdExpectationsStressResponsibleNo Matter WhatExcuseMeaningfulThanksDirtOppressedMarvelousWorkplaceUnspokenHarassmentSyndromesLatentAiryMenopauseBlamelessLow ExpectationsDisempowerment Book:The Book of Guys: Stories Source: The Book of Guys: Stories

“When a rapidly rising power rivals an established ruling power, trouble ensues. In 11 of 15 cases in which this has occurred in the past 500 years, the result was war. The great Greek historian Thucydides identified these structural stresses as the primary cause of the war between Athens and Sparta in ancient Greece. In his oft-quoted insight, "It was the rise of Athens and the fear that this inspired in Sparta that made war inevitable."” YearsMadeWarPastPoliticalPoliticsCausesResultsCasesTroubleStressInspiredAncientInsightPrimariesInevitableGreekRisingHistorianRulingGreeceRivalsAthensAncient GreeceSparta Author:Graham T.
