Stupid Thinking Trying

More From Alain Prost

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.

People were paid lots of money to make stupid decisions, people in big banks, and when people are paid to be stupid they'll be stupid. the question was, did they know they were being stupid or were they just stupid? i think you need to take it on a case by case basis. there was some sinister activity, but i think by and by it was people being incentivised to do the wrong thing.

Well, english is no problem for me because i am actually english. my whole family are english; i was brought up listening to various forms of the english accent. obviously there are more specific ones that get a little bit tricky. same with american stuff. but because in australia we're so inundated with american culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in australia can do an american accent. it's just second nature.

So you want another story?" uhh... no. we would like to know what really happened." doesn't the telling of something always become a story?" uhh... perhaps in english. in japanese a story would have an element of invention in it. we don't want any invention. we want the 'straight facts,' as you say in english." isn't telling about something--using words, english or japanese--already something of an invention? isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. people’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. people are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

Learn all you can, don't be lazy. nothing's worse than being stupid. being broke is bad, but being stupid is what's really bad. and what's really really bad is being broke and stupid. nothing's much worse than that. unless you're sick. sick, broke and stupid, that’s about as far as you can fall unless you're ugly. surely that would be the ultimate; ugly, sick, broke and stupid.

We should create law based on the god of the bible.

Anyone who says that women do not have influence in men's decisions makes a vast and stupid mistake.

I feel sorry for anyone who is in a place where he feels strange and stupid.

Automobiles are free of egotism, passion, prejudice and stupid ideas about where to have dinner. they are, literally, selfless. a world designed for automobiles instead of people would have wider streets, larger dining rooms, fewer stairs to climb and no smelly, dangerous subway stations.
