“Do not turn the power of your mind upon others, but turn it upon yourself in such a way that it will make you stronger, more positive, more capable, and more efficient, and as you develop in this manner, success must come of itself. There is only one way by which you can influence others legitimately, and that is through the giving of instruction, but in that case, there is no desire to influence. You desire simply to impart knowledge and information, and you exercise a most desirable influence without desiring to do so.” WayGivingMindDesireTurnsCasesInfluenceInformationExerciseCapableStrongerOne WayInstructionEfficientDesirableImpartMakes You StrongerKnowledge And Information Book:The Optimist Creed Source: The Optimist Creed
“Literature is at once the cause and the effect of social progress. It deepens our natural sensibilities, and strengthens by exercise our intellectual capacities. It stores up the accumulated experience of the race, connecting Past and Present into a conscious unity; and with this store it feeds successive generations, to be fed in turn by them.” PastTurnsLiteratureSocialCausesNaturalRaceProgressGenerationsEffectsExerciseIntellectualConsciousCapacityUnityStoresFedsSensibilityConnectingPast And PresentSocial Progress Author:George Henry Lewes
“There is an exercise I teach at colleges: Get yourself a canvas and a bunch of acrylics and go into a very dimly lighted room. Dip a brush into one of the colors, slap it on the canvas, don't look, close your eyes, make a painting, don't look, turn the lights on and see what you've got. I think this releases people from the editor in their life that's always standing over their shoulder saying, "Oh, you don't have any talent; who do you think you are?"” PeopleThinkingLooksLightEyeTurnsRoomsTeachTalentCollegeColorPaintingExerciseStandingShouldersBunchReleaseEditorsCanvasBrushesSlapDip Author:Buffy Sainte-Marie
