Thinking
(page 3)
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
I always have a quotation for everything — it saves original thinking.
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
I used to do my best thinking while staring out airplane windows. The seat-back video system put a stop to that. Now I sit and watch old' Friends' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond' episodes. Walking is good, but here again, technology has interfered. I like to listen to iTunes while I walk home. I guess I don't think anymore.
Seeing, feeling, thinking, believing — these are the stages of how we change our style on the outside and our self-image on the inside.
All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him.
I've run into people in my life who were so dramatic; people who are so extreme and so frustrating to be around that you end up thinking about them and talking about them for literally years after your experience with them is over. I've had that happen to me, and I've seen it happen to other people. I find it fascinating.
How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.
There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
To most people, paranoia carries a negative connotation. I believe it is one of the most valuable attributes a leader can have. It is about self-reflection and having the courage, humility, and discipline to constantly ask uncomfortable questions that can potentially poke holes in your strategy and challenge your conventional thinking.
I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.
Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
I think; therefore I am.
The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.
It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say.
If you're doing this because you feel like you have a burning desire to do it, then you'll find a way to do it, no matter what. If you're doing this because you're thinking, 'Hey, this will be really cool. I'll be famous. I'll be on YouTube', then you'll probably quit, because it's not easy to do for the long haul.
Foreign policy exactly suits Obama's strong points as a leader, which turn out not to be giving the masses a clear sense of direction and hope, but instead exercising good judgment on a case-by-case basis while thinking many steps ahead of the present moment.
Walking is magic. Can't recommend it highly enough. I read that Plato and Aristotle did much of their brilliant thinking together while ambulating. The movement, the meditation, the health of the blood pumping, and the rhythm of footsteps... this is a primal way to connect with one's deeper self.
You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.
