“It's mind-boggling to consider that movies this bad are actually committed to film. The poor quality of The Pest in almost every category - humor, intelligence, creativity, and just plain entertainment value - ranks it somewhere between a bad infomercial and a local cable newscast. Rarely do I consider the act of seeing a movie to be a chore, but this kind of experience is the exception.” MindKindFilmValuesPoorQualityCreativitySeeingCommittedEntertainmentLocalsExceptionCategoriesCablesChoresPestsMind BogglingPoor QualityInfomercials Author:James Berardinelli
“How can you communicate your thoughts or demonstrate your hypotheses by conventional means when all the values and standards that you want to challenge are built into those means? Science and new technology today like to declare that they encourage 'lateral thinking,' new ways of seeing and putting data together - but all systems have an inbuilt resistance to what has not been programmed into them through the premises on which their rules are based.” ThinkingWayWantMeanTodayTogetherValuesChallengesTechnologyProgressSeeingStandardsBuiltCommunicateResistanceDataConventionalNew WaysStatus QuoHypothesisPremisesNew TechnologyLateral Thinking Book:Improper behavior Source: Improper behavior

“When we sit, we open our own treasure house. Rather than do this, however, most of us first seek to find the treasures another person can provide. We calculate their value to us. When we approach relationships in this manner, we are coming as beggars, seeing the other as a source of supply. When we can enter a relationship with our treasure house already open, there is no end to the wonders we can find, both within and between ourselves and another.” FirstsPersonsEndsValuesHouseWonderRelationshipSeeingSourceApproachTreasureBeggar Book:Zen and the Art of Falling in Love Source: Zen and the Art of Falling in Love

“A photographer who wants to see....must recognize the value of the familiar. Your ability to see is not increased by the distance you put between yourself and your home.

“We don't always know the details of our future. We do not know what lies ahead. We live in a time of uncertainty. We are surrounded by challenges on all sides. Occasionally discouragement may sneak in to our day; frustration may invite itself into our thinking; doubt might enter about the value of our work. In these dark moments Satan whispers in our ears that we will never be able to succeed, that the price isn't work the effort, and that our small part will never make a difference. He, the father of all lies, will try to prevent us from seeing the end from the beginning.” ThinkingKnowsTryingMayEndsMomentsMightAbleLyingValuesFatherSidesChallengesDifferencesDarkEffortDoubtSeeingSucceedEarsDetailsUncertaintySatanMaking A DifferenceFrustrationOur FutureInvitesDiscouragementSneakSmall PartsSneak InDark Moments Author:Dieter F.
