“I am biased towards the belief that every painter must be grounded in strong and faultless drawing skills, and until one has not experimented with all styles of painting and has not comprehended their potentialities one's work is not complete. Even an abstract painter must know how to draw as well as a figurative artist. As for me, drawing has never created any problem, since I know how to draw anatomy correctly if I had to, I understand the function of muscle groups and sculpture.” IfsKnowsWellsProblemArtistBeliefStrongKnow HowGroupsStylePaintingSkillsDrawsFunctionDrawingPainterAbstractMusclesGroundedSculptureAnatomyBiased Author:Guity Novin
“Nearly every taping or audition has to be in an American accent, so you don't have a choice; you just have to get good at it. I'm sure you can appreciate accents - it's like learning any skill, you have to work at it and work at it and it takes an awful lot of time, until it's muscle memory and you don't have to think about it anymore.” ThinkingChoicesMemoriesSkillsAppreciateAwfulMusclesAccentsAuditionsMuscle Memory Author:Jeremy Irvine
“I no longer sought skill, flexibility, strength, endurance, muscle tone, and quick responsiveness as means of imposing my will on the instrument, but rather of keeping an open and unrestricted pathway for the creative impulse to play its music straight from the preconscious depths beneath and beyond me.” MeanPlayCreativeSkillsInstrumentsDepthImpulseToneMusclesEnduranceFlexibilityPathwaysImposingResponsiveness Author:Stephen Nachmanovitch
“Wrestling is a one-on-one experience and if something goes wrong you can't point a finger and blame somebody else. What you do is up to you. And yet it's a team sport, because whether your team wins or loses is a result of the cumulative effect of the matches. Wrestling is a great confidence builder because it's not all about strength. You have to use your balance and skill and technique and if you do, you can overcome a lot of muscle and bulk guys, and even those who have natural ability. Basically, you can out-technique an opponent.” IfsUseGuyWinningSportsLosesNaturalAbilityResultsTeamEffectsBalanceSkillsOvercomingBlameFingersTechniqueOpponentsMusclesWrestlingUp To YouBuilderWin Or LoseSports TeamOne On OneCumulativeNatural AbilityGreat Confidence Author:Dennis Hastert
“When you play a serious role, as far as I'm concerned, I feel I'm using exactly the same skills, whatever they are, to play the role as you do with something more obviously comic.

“It's pretty clear that Hillary Clinton was a deeply, deeply flawed alternative. She had the wrong combination of the internal political chops to muscle out all the mainstream nominations from the field, leaving only Bernie Sanders, who was unacceptable to the Democrats' party establishment. But she also had a real lack of political skill that would enable her to win the general election.” RealPoliticalWinningPartyClearFieldsSkillsElectionClintonDemocratLeavingAlternativesCombinationMusclesInternalsEstablishmentMainstreamFlawedNominationsGeneral Elections Author:Jonathan Chait

“I have learned from experience that happiness is an acquired skill. Children are one of the greatest lessons in happiness, constantly challenging us to enjoy the moment, as the next one will not be the same. Gratitude is essential to happiness. Every time our children rush up to us and smile, we have something to be happy about; every time we get out of bed and can take a deep breath and go out for a walk, we have something to be happy about-that is the essence of a happy existence. Happiness is a muscle we must use, or it will wither away.” ChildrenMomentsUseHappinessNextEnjoyChallengesWalksExistenceGratitudeLessonsBedSkillsEssentialsEssenceBreathsOur ChildrenMusclesI Have LearnedDeep BreathThe Next OneTake A Deep Breath Author:Marianne Williamson
