“For Tibetans, the real strength of our struggle is truth - not size, money, or expertise. China is much bigger, richer, more powerful militarily, and has much better skill in diplomacy. They outdo us in every field. But they have no justice. We have placed our whole faith in truth and in justice. We have nothing else, in principle and in practice.” RealWholeJusticePowerfulPrinciplesPracticeStruggleFieldsSkillsBiggerSizeChinaDiplomacyExpertiseTibetanReal Strength Author:Dalai Lama
“It's harder to be funny if you're handsome than if you're very normal-looking. It's just more relatable. You're the underdog.

“The Western Idea of practice is to acquire a skill. It is very much related to your work ethic, which enjoins us to endure struggle or boredom now in return for future rewards. The Eastern idea of practice, on the other hand, is to create the person, or rather to actualize or reveal the complete person who is already there.... Not only is practice necessary to art, it is art.” PersonsArtIdeasHandsPracticeStruggleReturnSkillsEthicsRewardsWesternEndureRelatedBoredomAcquireWork EthicEastern Author:Stephen Nachmanovitch
“Developing a skill is painful, though. It is difficult. And that's part of the satisfaction. You will only find meaning in what you struggle with. What you struggle to get good at next may not seem the exact right thing for you at first.

“I think in theater it demands that you say the same words every night and make it feel fresh and new. Improv demands that you be operating at the highest level of your creativity intelligence. So these two skills are both very important but I've seen people who are very skilled at one area struggle with the other. Either improvisers feel constrained by having to say the same thing over and over again or people who are really good at doing scripted work feel intimidated and exposed doing improvisation.” PeopleThinkingFeelsTwoImportantNightLevelsCreativityStruggleSkillsDemandHighestAreasTheaterExposedEvery NightImprovisationIntimidated Author:Gillian Jacobs

“Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better... or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.” InspirationalMotivationalMovingTurnsOpportunityAbilityCareersStruggleArmsVictorySkillsImportanceDefeatObstaclesQuittingSellingMoving ForwardEnduranceYour FutureComradeRebuff Book:The Greatest Salesman in the World Source: The Greatest Salesman in the World
