Woman argues, such stories were written for men, not women and “fiction of the evil beauty type was perhaps naturally born of such street morals. Upon reading such stories, we find a common narrative setting. Namely, the central male character always marries, or takes a sexual interest in, a woman beyond his circumstances. In that sense, stories of cruel beauties were originally intended to inculcate in men “the horror of marriage beyond one’s means,” rather than providing a moral that beauty is cruel.

“I can’t help but feel like I’m missing out on having great adventures.”

Every bit of life is a “great adventure” and the minute you appreciate the small things, you won’t need a big travel experience to feel something.

Your 30s are like your 20s, except you have money… if you don’t have kids.

He has an outsize vocabulary but he tends to downshift when making public speeches to connect with the crowd. He spent a lifetime with two top class British trained lawyers, and it is impossible not to have that legacy rub off.

What separates him from the man in the street is the precise choice of words and crystal clear thought train, products of a lucid, uncluttered mind. The speed of thought and clever turn of phrase only accentuate his quality of mind.

Command of the English’s tongue isn’t just grammar and a way with words. It is crafting your message and delivering it as intended to the mind of the recipient.

I make no apologies for collecting the most talented team I could find.

Who pays for all this? A Singapore economy which has been so finely tuned that it is able to take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way.

Singapore invests heavily on its military because it is the only way to deters its neighbors, even if they’re friendly now. One has to consider that this isn’t the case in the past.

Frustration arises from the perceived resistance to the fulfillment of an individual’s will or goal and is likely to increase when a will or goal is denied or blocked.

Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than average to be moody and to experience such feelings as anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness. People who are neurotic respond worse to stressors and are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. They are more self-conscious and shy, and they may have trouble controlling urges and delaying gratification.

We’ve also seen strong evidence that the method and manner in which you choose to communicate has a major influence on how people feel at work. Frazzled, exhausted, and anxious? Or calm, cool, and collected? These aren’t just states of mind, they are conditions caused by the kinds of tools we use, and the kinds of behaviors those tools encourage.

Elegant things often exhibit refined grace and suggest maturity, and in the case of mathematics, a deep understanding into the subject matter.

Essential components of the concept include simplicity and consistency of design, focusing on the essential features of an object. In art of any kind one might also required dignified grace, or restrained beauty of style.

Calling an adult “innocent” usually implies naivete, lack of experience, even simplemindedness. We consider it more desirable to be experienced and astute.

Yet within everyone is hidden a deep regret that they can no longer be carefree and childlike. These feelings of regret will often express themselves as fantasies and thinking about our childhood. As parents were often want to relive and rewrite our childhood through our children but this dream never comes true and what usually happens is that the unresolved problems of parents continue to be passed on to their children and generation after generation of innocence gets killed.

The only way to really get our innocence back is through the spiritual growth that is taking place inside us every day.

How many of the following words would you apply to an innocent person? Vulnerable, weak, impressionable, bashful, easily influenced, irrational, dependent; all of these terms apply to infants, who come into this world totally dependent and vulnerable.

The best synonym for innocence is simplicity, but many mistaken beliefs have encrusted that word.

Simplicity is simply being in the flow of life and the only way to do that is through your intuition. Being in the flow of life is, understanding that we all share one breath and we live from a place of unconditional love.

Love is really the only solution to problems. It takes love to dissolve separation, to bring people together into one harmonious whole.

Don’t settle for mediocre friends, jobs, love, relationships and life.

Surround yourself and only date people that make you a better version of yourself, that bring out your best parts, love and accept you.

Selfishness and self-interest are two different things. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

All adults are winging it.

There is no one who cares about or thinks about your life a fraction of what you do.

Their kids are behind, right from the first year of primary school, where kids from wealthier families start off already being able to read and write well, a gap that continues to grow over the years. Many develop a sense of inferiority and start to feel demoralized about going to school, the situation becoming “a self-fufilling prophecy that shapes learning behaviors.”
