In globalization 1.0, which began around 1492, the world went from size large to size medium. in globalization 2.0, the era that introduced us to multinational companies, it went from size medium to size small. and then around 2000 came globalization 3.0, in which the world went from being small to tiny.

I don't think i'm an angry person. i think i'm a person who's angry. i'm angry at the bush administration; i'm angry at the right wing media. and by that i don't mean the media is right wing. i mean, there is a part of the media that's not the mainstream media. that's fox, that is 'the wall street journal' editorial page.

I found it liberating to sing on camera. on stage, you have to indicate having a thought, and the word you are singing must indicate it as well, but on camera, you can have ideas, you can take in all the stimuli that the character would be taking in, there's a freedom you get, and you don't have the obligation to transmit each idea to the back of the house. it felt so much closer to reality for me.

I no longer become angry. i not only do not say angry words, i do not even think angry thoughts! if someone does an unkind thing to me i feel only compassion instead of resentment. even upon those who cause suffering i look with deep compassion, knowing the harvest of sorrow that lies in store for them. if there were those who hated me, i would love them in return, knowing that hatred can only be overcome by love, and knowing that there is good in all human beings which can be reached by a loving approach.
Lying Thinking Compassion
Everything starts with the inner being, your inner self - it all comes from you and we so often forget that. we think, "he made me angry." he didn't make you angry; you made yourself angry. don't allow him to get to your inner space.

A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.

It's possible to see the whole human growth movement of the 1970s as a wish to continue the inward quest without having to put yourself on the line in the way you had to when you took 250 gamma of lsd. and i think all these other methods are efficacious, but i think it's the sheer power of the hallucinogens that puts people off.

From the day microsoft was started, the only constraint to our growth has been attracting ah, more great programmers, very smart, committed, ah, people. and so we're always on... on the look for ah, that kind of person.

Faith itself is a horrible mechanism that stunts the growth of ideas. it also stunts the act of questioning, and it does this by pushing the idea that you have to have faith - and that nothing has to be proven.

There are as many foolhardy ways to grow as there are to downsize.
