progress

It__ is good you are about something. But wait and ask, __hy and how?_. Without __hys and hows_, not every energetic movement can be called progress.

If you're determined to stand, nothing can move you. If you're determined to move, nothing can stop you. Determination is the key!

The speed at which progress rolls is not determined by the number of people who started pushing it, but by the number of people who are passionate to hold on doing so.

All the progress in science can__ be used to build a smell receptor as capable as the one that a true leader possesses__o smell trouble or just something fishy.

It is much easier to evaluate perfect rather than partial results.

Preferring steady progress, slow and imperfect, is a good philosophy for the defeated.

Leaders are lovers of change. Without change, growth is static. To lead, you have to appreciate change; else change will depreciate you!

No true individual has existed yet, able to live, able to die. Only diseased, tragic, or dismal and ludicrous fools who sometimes hoped to achieve some ideal by fiat, by their great desire for it. But usually by bullying all mankind into believing them.

Progress has a steep price. Success has an even steeper price. Your team won't be willing to pay it if you aren't willing to pay it.

Rhetorical question: Did you get to where you are by accepting the status quo?I didn't.

Success is a process, not an event.

Be Practical." That's probably the most stupid piece of advice I've ever received in my life.

An age cannot bind itself and ordain to put the succeeding one into such a condition that it cannot extend its (at best very occasional) knowledge , purify itself of errors, and progress in general enlightenment. That would be a crime against human nature, the proper destination of which lies precisely in this progress and the descendants would be fully justified in rejecting those decrees as having been made in an unwarranted and malicious manner..

The Christian versions of the household codes were clearly progressive for their time, but does that mean they have the last word, that Christians in changing places and times cannot progress further?

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

There was rarely an obvious branching point in a person's life. People changed slowly, over time. You didn't take one step, then find yourself in a completely new location. You first took a little step off the path to avoid some rocks. For a while, you walked alongside the path, but then you wandered out a little way to step on softer soil. Then you stopped paying attention as you drifted farther and farther away. Finally, you found yourself in the wrong city, wondering why the signs on the roadway hadn't led you better.

As long as your work remains unwritten in your head, it has no effect on anyone. Except you. And not in a good way. Once you let your idea out of the hermetically sealed vault of your brain and out into the fresh air, it will immediately start to evolve. The minute you get it down on a piece of paper, it will change.And once you let it out of the house _ once someone else gets to experience it _ everything is changed.You are changed. The project is changed. The audience is changed.That__ the alchemy of art.

I marvel at the placidity of the Utopian who imagines that man is perfectible. There is no denying that the human creature is born selfish, abusive, vile. Just look around you and see. Society cynical and ferocious, the humble heckled and pillaged by the rich traffickers in necessities. Everywhere the triumph of the mediocre and unscrupulous, everywhere the apotheosis of crooked politics and finance. And you think you can make any progress against a stream like that? No, man has never changed. His soul was corrupt in the days of Genesis and is not less rotten at present. Only the form of his sins varies. Progress is the hypocrisy which refines the vices.
