“If you want to play the game and win, you've got to play 'full out.' You've got to be willing to feel stupid, and you've got to be willing to try things that might not work - and if they don't work, be willing to change your approach. Otherwise, how could you innovate, how could you grow, how could you discovery who you really are?” IfsWantFeelsTryingPlayMightMotivationalGamesWinningGrowsStupidWillingApproachDiscoveryWilling To TryWilling To Change Author:Tony Robbins
“Receptivity is the first requisite of the disciple, and of anyone who wants to learn anything. We can be anything else we like: we can be wicked, we can be stupid, we can be full of faults, we can backslide. In a sense, it doesn’t matter. But we must be spiritually receptive; we have to be willing and ready to learn. When we know that we do not know, everything is possible.” KnowsWantFirstsMatterStupidWillingReadyFaultsWickedDiscipleReceptiveReceptivity Author:Sangharakshita

“To defend something is always to discredit it. Let a man have a warehouse full of gold, let him be willing to give away a ducat to every one of the poor - but let him also be stupid enough to begin this charitable undertaking of his with a defense in which he offers three good reasons in justification; and it will almost come to the point of people finding it doubtful whether indeed he is doing something good. But now for Christianity. Yes, the person who defends that has never believed in it.” PeopleMenGivingPersonsReasonEnoughThreePoorChristianityStupidWillingOffersFindingsGoldDefenseJustificationUndertakingsDoubtfulCharitableDiscreditWarehouse Author:Soren Kierkegaard

“Be wild; that is how to clear the river. The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. The river does not dry up, we block it. If we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. That is creative life. It is made up of divine paradox. To create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth.
