“Al Gore's problem, in my view, is that he never liked politics. He's actually deeply uncomfortable in it but felt he had to do it because of his father. He's much more comfortable in a private sector role and has, in fact, been much more successful in a private sector role, and I admire him for that.” FactsProblemFatherFeltViewsRolesSuccessfulComfortableAdmireUncomfortableAlsGorePrivate Sector Author:Andrew Sullivan

“I think there's a side of me that's trying to compete with Lucas and Spielberg - I don't usually admit this publicly - because I tend to think that they only go so far, and their view of the world is rather simplistic.

“The successful politician owes his power to the fact that he moves within the accepted framework of thought, that he thinks and talks conventionally. It would be almost a contradiction in terms for a politician to be a leader in the field of ideas. His task in a democracy is to find out what the opinions held by the largest number are, not to give currency to new opinions which may become the majority view in some distant future.” ThinkingGivingMayIdeasFactsWould BeMovingPoliticsTermViewsNumbersLeaderOpinionPowerDemocracySuccessfulFieldsPoliticianTasksMajorityAcceptedContradictionCurrencyFramework Author:Friedrich August von Hayek

“Automobile is one of the most successful inventions of all time, but in my view, it is thoroughly obsolete already.

“One of the best ways to properly evaluate and adapt to the many environmental stresses of life is to simply view them as normal. The adversity and failures in our lives, if adapted to and viewed as normal corrective feedback to use to get back on target, serve to develop in us an immunity against anxiety, depression, and the adverse responses to stress. Instead of tackling the most important priorities that would make us successful and effective in life, we prefer the path of least resistance and do things simply that will relieve our tension, such as shuffling papers and majoring in minors.” IfsWayImportantUseLife IsViewsPathSuccessfulOur LivesNormalPaperAnxietyStressAdversityResponseEnvironmentalPrioritiesBest WayResistanceTensionTargetGet BackMinorsPapersFeedbackEvaluateAdaptedAdverseImmunityTacklingShufflingPath Of Least ResistanceAnxiety Depression Author:Denis Waitley
