Rebecca Solnit
“But hope is not about what we expect. It is an embrace of the essential unknowability of the world, of the breaks with the present, the surprises. Or perhaps studying the record more carefully leads us to expect miracles - not when and where we expect them, but to expect to be astonished, to expect that we don't know. And this is grounds to act.”
Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark: The Untold History of People Power

Immanuel Kant
“B626
Sein ist offenbar kein reales Prädikat, d.i. ein Begriff von irgend etwas, was zu dem Begriffe eines Dinges, oder gewisser Bestimmungen an sich selbst...

B627
Und so enthält das Wirkliche nichts mehr, als das bloss Mögliche. Hundert wirkliche Thaler enthalten nicht das mindeste mehr, als hundert mögliche...

Aber in meinem Vermögenszustande ist
mehr bei hundert wirklichen Thalern, als bei dem blossen Begriffe derselben, ( d.i. ihrer Moeglichkeit ).”
Immanuel Kant, Kritik der reinen Vernunft 2. Auflage

“Remember, great minds discuss ideas, average minds talk about events, and small minds talk about people. Talking about people involves criticizing, gossiping, or spreading rumours about individuals, often without any constructive purpose or benefit. In contrast, talking about events involves simply recounting what has happened, not necessarily in a way that contributes positively to our lives. On the other hand, focusing on discussing ideas rather than events or people can lead to greater personal and professional success and more meaningful and productive conversations and relationships.”
Asuni LadyZeal

“Many times, we need to make friends with growth-minded people, including an accountability partner, an organized peer, and a mentor. These 'partners in progress' will help you achieve success by discussing and taking action towards your goals while holding each other accountable.”
Asuni LadyZeal

“Being proactive involves taking the initiative to identify and solve problems rather than waiting for problems to occur and then reacting to them.”
Asuni LadyZeal

“When you take a proactive approach to your personal and professional life, you will be prepared to embrace challenges, take risks, and learn from your mistakes. You will focus on what you can control to achieve your goals rather than waiting for things to happen to you. This, in turn, can lead to greater success, fulfilment, and happiness in life.”
