“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”
Oscar Wilde
“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”
Mark Victor Hansen
“Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.”
Stephen R. Covey
“A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
“In addition to self-awareness, imagination and conscience, it is the fourth human endowment-independent will-that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to proactively carry out the program we have developed through the other three endowments. Empowerment comes from learning how to use this great endowment in the decisions we make every day.”
“Truth never needs to justify itself.”
Glenn Curtis Maddox
“We are entering an era where products will have an increasingly rich level of self-awareness; one that relies on interaction with the consumer and will be made possible by the use of various sensor technologies. This emergence of interactive intelligence will have a very real impact on every aspect of how we live, work and play.”
