“Many people have trouble sticking to their resolutions, and there is a simple scientific explanation for this. In 1987, a team of psychologists conducted a study in which they monitored the New Year's resolutions of 275 people. After one week the psychologists found that 92 percent of the people were keeping their resolutions; after two weeks we have no idea what happened because the psychologists had quit monitoring.” PeopleYearsTwoIdeasFoundSimpleStudyHappenedTroubleWeekTeamPercentQuittingNo IdeaExplanationResolutionNew YearTwo WeeksPsychologistNew Year's ResolutionsMonitoring Author:Dave Barry
“I don't like giving a gift just to cross the person off my list. They don't have to be extravagant or expensive things, they can be simple.

He was an older gentleman who was having trouble putting up his lights, and it made me feel good to be able to help him.” GivingFeelsPersonsMadeHelpingLightAbleSimpleTroubleCrossesNeighborListsFeel GoodGentlemanExpensiveExtravagantGreat Gifts Author:Peter Facinelli

“Many young people today do not concern themselves with style. They think that what one says should be said simply and that is all. For me, style - which does not exclude simplicity, quite the opposite - is above all a way of saying three or four things in one. There is the simple sentence, with its immediate meaning, and then at the same time, below this immediate meaning, other meanings are organized. If one is not capable of giving language this plurality of meaning, then it is not worth the trouble to write.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayGivingShouldWritingDoeSaidTodayYoungThreeLanguageSimpleFourTroubleStyleCapableConcernOppositesSimplicitySentencesOrganized Book:Sartre in the Seventies: Interviews and Essays Source: Sartre in the Seventies: Interviews and Essays
