“One reason I can be more tolerant than most is that as a therapist I have the advantage of information about my patients that most people are not privy to. And I discover that we rarely if ever see the totality of another in ordinary social intercourse. When an individual appears mean and lazy, we are only seeing one part of the person, elicited by a particular set of circumstances on a particular day, and we do well to wait a while before concluding that what we see is the whole person.” PeopleIfsWellsMeanPersonsI CanReasonWholeIndividualSocialWaitingSeeingInformationParticularPerspectiveCircumstancesOrdinaryAdvantagePatientLazyIntercourseTherapistsTotalityWhole PersonConcluding Author:Alan Loy McGinnis

“Over the years, I've found that I either live life or write about it. I can't seem to do both simultaneously - I have to do it sequentially. When I write incessantly, I lose touch with the issues and passions that fuel the work. But when I get too involved in organizations or movement endeavors, I almost forget that I'm a writer. It's a constant struggle to find a balance between these two worlds - the solitary writing life and the life of a social justice activist.” WorldWritingYearsI CanTwoSeemsPassionFoundSocialLosesJusticeForgetStruggleIssuesMovementBalanceInvolvedOrganizationSocial JusticeConstantActivismLive LifeFuelActivistEndeavorSolitaryWriting LifeTwo WorldsIncessantlyConstant Struggle Author:Letty Cottin Pogrebin

“I don't know when the last time was that Steven Spielberg or George Lucas made a movie with Universal, but I can tell you that Universal is leading the charge. They're looking at film differently. They're planning ahead in a way that I've never seen a studio do before. They're believing in a relationship between fan and film franchise, in a new way. They're more receptive to an audience, in part because of social media, in a way we've never been allowed.” KnowsWayBelieveMadeI CanLastsFilmSocialAudienceFansMediaUniversalStudiosSocial MediaPlanningNew WaysLast TimeReceptivePlanning Ahead Author:Vin Diesel
