“It really helps
if we can respect each other's perspectives.
That alone can get us past so many impasses.
Sometimes it can even help us find a new possibility
we hadn't seen before;
but even if not,
sometimes it can help us at least
see the other person's rationales;
but even if not,
sometimes it can help us just accept that
another way of seeing it, of doing it, exists, functions,
is effective for someone,
even if not for us,
even if we can't understand it.

It really helps
if we can respect each other's perspectives.
But sometimes we can't.

Then it really helps
if we can trust each other's intentions,
know that we want the best for each other
as much as for ourselves
even if we disagree on how to get there.

It really helps
if we can trust each other's intentions.
But sometimes we can't.”

“What I have been pondering and trying to realize is the way to lead a satisfied life?

After days of rumination, I have come to the realization that the way to lead a satisfied life is when we stay humble, work hard, and never stop chasing our dreams and goals in life. At the same time we must not forget the people who have played an important part in our life. We must appreciate and acknowledge the people who inspire us, support us and care for us. We must unwaveringly keep believing in ourself and keep spreading positive vibes and warm energies wherever we may be.”

“Acceptance does not mean you lay back and let Life have its way with you. It is not a path of hopeless acquiescence or defeated inaction, nor does it imply that you will ignore hardship or injustice (yours or others’). It simply means that you understand and acknowledge the facts of a given moment. You, as the old saying goes, let reality be reality. And after you accept “it,” whatever that is in each moment or situation, you can decide if or how you will respond.”

“I walked through the doorway and into the hall with Mrs. Taylor loaded on my stretcher. I was flanked on either side by the nursing staff. They stood in silence, honoring Mrs. Taylor. I felt honored, too. Because it wasn’t just Mrs. Taylor that they were acknowledging; in an indirect way, they were acknowledging me. They were acknowledging my work and my profession in a profoundly special way. I was at the end of a fourteen-hour day, but I felt rejuvenated. I didn’t feel like I needed to be hidden. I didn’t feel invisible.”

“In the ancient world too women schemed while men strategized; there was a great gulf, elemental and eternal, between the adventure and the adventuress. There was one too between virility and promiscuity: Caesar left Cleopatra in Alexandria to sleep with the wife of the king of Mauretania. Antony arrived in Tarsus fresh from an affair with the queen of Cappadocia. The consort of two men of voracious sexual appetite and innumerable sexual conquests, Cleopatra would go down in history as the snare, the delusion, the seductress. Citing her sexual prowess was evidently less discomfiting than acknowledging her intellectual gifts. In the same way it is easier to ascribe her power to magic than to love. We have evidence of neither, but the first can least be explained; with magic one forfeits rather than loses the game. So Cleopatra has Antony under her thumb, poised to obey her every wish, "not only because of his intimacy with her," as Josephus has it, "but also because of being under the influence of drugs." To claim as much is to acknowledge her power, also to insult her intelligence.”
― Stacy Schiff, Cleopatra: A Life

“When possible, try to reward a child's good behavior, instead of punishing their bad behavior. Perhaps give them surprise IOUs for an 'extra 15 minutes' to stay up late or enjoy an activity for good behavior. Maybe they were being kind or helped without being asked. Important to acknowledge & reinforce the standards. Encouragement & guidance being the goals.”
― Nancy Lavoie
