“Back in the 1970s, I ate a high-protein diet to get bigger and stronger. As a senior at Utah State, I weighed 218 pounds with eight percent body fat, and threw the discus over 190 feet. Then I got some advice from the people at the Olympic Training Center. I needed carbs, they advised, and lots of them. They pointed to studies done on the American distance runners. Being an idiot, I took the advice to eat like emaciated, over-trained sub-performers. It took years of high carbohydrate grazing to learn the evils of this advice.” PeopleYearsStatesDoneBodyEvilStudyFeetAdviceNeededTrainingPercentBiggerStrongerDistanceEightFatsIdiotDietsPoundsPerformersSeniorRunnersWorkoutProteinUtahDistance RunnerMotivational WorkoutCarbsCarbohydratesGrazingBody Fat Author:Dan John

“When I began my physical studies [in Munich in 1874] and sought advice from my venerable teacher Philipp von Jolly...he portrayed to me physics as a highly developed, almost fully matured science...Possibly in one or another nook there would perhaps be a dust particle or a small bubble to be examined and classified, but the system as a whole stood there fairly secured, and theoretical physics approached visibly that degree of perfection which, for example, geometry has had already for centuries.” WholeScienceStudyTeacherAdviceCenturyExampleDegreesPerfectionPhysicsDustBubblesParticlesTheoreticalGeometrySecuredJollyMaturedMunichTheoretical Physics Author:Max Planck

“I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. ... I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me... These are not, however, the days of miracles ... I must study the plain physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible, and learn what appears to be wise and right.” IfsMenFactsMightCertainReligiousOpinionCasesStudyWiseAdviceDivineDutyOppositesMiracleConnectedPositive AtheismBeing WiseIrreverentDivine Will Author:Abraham Lincoln
“I encourage film students who are interested in cinematography to study sculpture, paintings, music, writing and other arts. Filmmaking consists of all the arts combined. Students are always asking me for advice, and I tell them that they have to be enthusiastic, because it's hard work. The only way to enjoy it is to be totally immersed. If you don't get involved on that level, it could be a very miserable job. I only have one regret about my career: I'm sorry that we are not making silent movies any more.
