“In mathematics ... we find two tendencies present. On the one hand, the tendency towards abstraction seeks to crystallise the logical relations inherent in the maze of materials ... being studied, and to correlate the material in a systematic and orderly manner. On the other hand, the tendency towards intuitive understanding fosters a more immediate grasp of the objects one studies, a live rapport with them, so to speak, which stresses the concrete meaning of their relations.” TwoHandsSpeakUnderstandingStudyObjectsMaterialsStressRelationMathematicsTendenciesLogicalConcreteInherentAbstractionIntuitiveSystematicOrderlyMazesRapport Author:David Hilbert
“Understanding how to find the magic moments in your daily life is critical. If you subscribe to the philosophy that says, "My vacation will free me from burnout," then you`re waiting for a few days out of the year to make up for many days of stress. Instead, you have to be able to take mini-vacations on a daily basis.” IfsYearsPhilosophyMomentsAbleLife IsWaitingUnderstandingMagicBasesStressCriticalDaily LifeVacationBurnoutMagic Moments Author:Tony Robbins

“The interesting thing about the ACE study, as it began in the 1990s, is that it was based on a very strict set of ten questions.

“Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. Nearly all men of science, all men of learning for that matter, and men of simple ways too, have it in some form and in some degree. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission. If we abandon that mission under stress we shall abandon it forever, for stress will not cease. Knowledge for the sake of understanding, not merely to prevail, that is the essence of our being. None can define its limits, or set its ultimate boundaries.” IfsMenWayMatterFormScienceFaithUnderstandingSimpleKnowledgeForeverLimitsDegreesEssenceUltimateAccountsStressSakePrivilegeMissionsBoundariesCeaseAbandonUtilitySimple WaysUnder StressSimple Faith Author:Vannevar Bush
