“Discipline is the bridge between thought and accomplishment. Discipline comes to those with the awareness that for a kite to fly it must rise against the wind; that all good things are achieved by those who are willing to swim upstream; that drifting aimlessly through life only leads to bitterness and disappointment." And then he added: "Discipline is the foundation on which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.” AwarenessWillingWindDisciplineBuiltFoundationGood ThingsDisappointmentBridgesAccomplishmentSwimBitternessDriftingKitesRise Against Author:Jim Rohn
“Obviously cheap sentimentality isn't something any good novelist wants to traffic in, but I think it's a problem if you consider it to be the most egregious of all creative sins. I think it's a problem if you consider it the thing to be avoided at all cost. I think it's a problem of you're not willing to risk the consequences of that kind of emotionalism under any circumstances. Then you wind up in the cul-de-sac of irony.” IfsThinkingWantKindProblemSinCreativeRiskWillingWindCircumstancesCostConsequenceIronyNovelistsTrafficAvoidedSentimentality Author:Steve Erickson
