“Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you, now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.”

Had a dream I woke up in Florence yesterday.

“While I strongly believe corporations today have no conscience when it comes to paying their employees fairly and are focused on the bottom line, I can hear my own voice in every word of this article and see the struggle my parents went through. No matter your level of privilege or lack there of - no matter your economic standing - no matter what inequalities you have to face. Know that these were the cards you were dealt and that life was never meant to be fair, just pick up your burden and learn to walk with it so that one day you are strong enough to eliminate the lack of opportunity and the inequalities that once plagued you from hindering others who are only beginning their journey. But don't complain. Don't whine. Don't blame other people/the government/the system/ your family even if they have all failed you. Fight for yourself and then fight for others.” — My Brother

“…I’ve watched some students start and finish high and others come in low and rise incrementally…In many cases, the person who never improves actually has more core ability, but they have such a high need for achievement that they require constant positive feedback, so they stick to what they know.” 

“What’s the difference between those two people? It’s not core ability. In many cases, the person who never improves actually has more core ability, but they have such a high need for achievement that they require constant positive feedback, so they stick to what they know. When people tell them things that might be helpful in any way, they get rattled because it doesn’t follow their chain of events, or because they didn’t come up with the idea on their own—another failure.”

“When I talk about critique with students, I try to get them to see it’s not an oral examination or evaluation. You have to get out of that mindset and question what led to that mindset.”

This is a brilliant century. Eyes are now open to the beauty of the oneness of humanity, of love and of brotherhood. The darkness of suppression will disappear and the light of unity will shine. We cannot bring love and unity to pass merely by talking of it. Knowledge is not enough. Wealth, science, education are good, we know: but we must also work and study to bring to maturity the fruit of knowledge. —

“Sexism happens when the gender that has more power uses that power to belittle, criticize, put down, control, or sexualise the other gender that has less power. It’s not necessarily in what a guy is saying or doing, it’s in the power that he has over a woman.” — From this man to all the other men and women.
