not so much a quote but a good ideology from Jean Piaget.

how to act in the world.

every action you take should be good for you. (Piaget said you have to detach yourself from yourself and treat yourself in exactly the same way as you would treat someone you were caring for)
AND for your family
AND for your community
AND for the environment.

and it should be good for you now
AND tommorow
AND next week
AND next year
AND in 10 years.

If you followed that advice you would never do anything

youre confusing getting what you want (a bad idea) with whats good for you (a good idea).

so starting a business which might fail is "good for you".
you will learn and grow and your family will see you as resilient and your community will benefit from your courage and you may not make the same stupid mistakes next year or in 10 years.

failing is "good for you" . its "par for the course".

if you think taking a risk is costly, wait til they send you the bill for "not taking a risk"

So do I - I use them in books..... some of them are beauties...

Here's one to think over for today's societal malaises:-

"The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution."

John Adams
1735-1826, Second President of the USA

Adams would have to say something like that. He was a politician. The only revolution in "America" was changing the name on the deed to the ranch.

Setanta.

That is paraphrasing a line that is in STARSHIP TROOPERS, i believe. Wink

Google;
violence never solved anything, starship troopers

Cool, I'll have to watch it?

Good movie?

Director: Paul Verhoeven

Setanta,

If you like Paul Verhoeven movies, you may like it.

I have it on DVD.

Never heard of him to be honest. Isn't he the psycho from friday the 13th?

That is Jason Voorhees. Paul Verhoeven did movies like "Total Recall" and "Robocop". "Starship Troopers" seems to be such a quirky movie that the movie seems to either have a "like it or not" quality about it. A good sci-fi fantasy movie. But it is a movie that is better than the sequels.
