“That’s the thing about a human life-there’s no control group, no way to ever know how any of us would have turned out if any variables had been changed.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything

“We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses--one foot is on the horse called "fate," the other on the horse called "free will." And the question you have to ask every day is--which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort?”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“الدرس الإداري الكبير الذي تعلمته وقتها ولم أنسه حتى الآن، يتعلق بترتيب الأولويات عليك أن تبدأ بتحفيز الآخرين عن طريق الحب والاحترام أن تحبهم فتجعلهم يحبونك وتحترمهم فتجعلهم يحترمونك وسوف تجد كل رغباتك قد تحققت. عندما يتعذر الوصول إلى الهدف عن هذا الطريق لك أن تلجأ إلى الإغراء بالثواب عندما يفشل هذا المسعى وعندها فقط لك أن تلجأ إلى آخر العلاج العقاب أو التلويح به.”
― غازي بن عبد الرحمن القصيبي, حياة في الإدارة

“Prayer is a relationship; half the job is mine. If I want transformation, but can't even be bothered to articulate what, exactly, I'm aiming for, how will it ever occur? Half the benefit of prayer is in the asking itself, in the offering of a clearly posed and well-considered intention. If you don't have this, all your pleas and desires are boneless, floppy, inert; they swirl at your feet in a cold fog and never lift.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
