For reaching influential people, I think that in-person is the least crowded and most effective way, because they have to trust the messenger before they will endorse the message.
Quote by -Tim Firris
You should never leave the site of a goal or an idea without figuring some way to apply it immediately. That gives you power. That’s how you build momentum.
Quote by -Tony Robbins
I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
Writing means sharing. It's part of the human condition to want to share things - thoughts, ideas, opinions.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
About the idea of a clash between cultures, between civilisations, I don't believe in it. It's something some political leaders tried to use, and that the media tried and are still trying to sell us, in order to simplify the world and their work.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
Once I found this possibility to use Twitter and Facebook and my blog to connect to my readers, I'm going to use it, to connect to them and to share thoughts that I cannot use in the book.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
The only thing that relaxes me is archery. That's why I have to have apartments with gardens.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
Writers are lampposts and critics are dogs. Ask lampposts what they think about dogs. Does the dog hurt the lamppost?
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death. They thought nobody can make a living from being a writer in Brazil. They were not wrong.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
My connection with Brazil is so abstract. My blood and my way of thinking is Brazilian, but that's it. I don't tend to go back to the past, and although I have an apartment there, I rarely visit. When I move, I really move.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
Let us be absolutely clear about one thing: we must not confuse humility with false modesty or servility.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
My literature is much more the result of a paradox than that of an implacable logic, typical of police novels. The paradox is the tension that exists in my soul.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
I am 100 per cent Virgo, stubborn, over-organised, slightly abstracted from the rest of the world.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writing is lonely, so from time to time I talk to them on the Internet. It's like chatting at a bar without leaving your office. I talk with them about a lot of things other than my books.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
No, I never saw an angel, but it is irrelevant whether I saw one or not. I feel their presence around me.
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
We want to answer this classical question, who am I? So I think that most of our works are for art, or whatever we do, including science or religion, tried to answer that question.
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
“A man is literally what he thinks”. This might be a shocking statement, but everything is a state of mind.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
There is no such word as “maturity”. Rather: maturing. Because when there is a maturity, there is a conclusion and a cessation. That’s “the end”. That’s when the coffin is closed.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I am improving and making new discoveries every day. If you don’t you are already crystallized and that’s it.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I’m not the type of guy who can sit in the office doing the same routine day in and day out. I have to do something that is creative and interesting to me.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Whether it is the godhead or not, I feel this great force, this untapped power, this dynamic something within me.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I couldn’t go wrong because what I always like about myself is this stickability toward quality and the sincere desire to do it right.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Negativeness very often unknowingly creeps up upon us. It helps occasionally to stop all thoughts (the chattering of worries, anticipations, and so forth, in your head) and then once more refreshingly march bravely on.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
We do not see “it” in its suchness because of our indoctrination, crooked and twisted.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Nobility of character manifests itself at loopholes when it is not provided with large doors.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Intensity and/or enthusiasm is this god within us – one that instinctively becomes the art of the physical “becoming” and within this transition we no longer care to know what life means. We are indeed furnishing the “what is” by simply being.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Who is there that can make muddy water clear? But if allowed to remain still, it will become clear of itself. Who is there that can secure a state of absolute repose? But keep calm and let time go on, and the state of repose will gradually arrest.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
