More From Niccolo Machiavelli

Managing risk is a key variable, frankly, all aspects of life, business is just one of them, and one of the things that most people do in terms of managing risk, that's actually bad thinking, is they think they can manage risk to zero. everything has some risk to it. you know, you drive your car down the street, a drunk driver may hit you. so what you're doing is you're actually trying to get to an acceptable level of risk.
Zero Thinking Keys
Unlike most of life, what you do really matters. your actions have real consequences. you have to pay attention and focus, and that's very satisfying. it forces you to pay great attention and you lose yourself in the task at hand. without the risk, that wouldn't happen, so the risk is an essential part of climbing, and that's hard for some people to grasp. you can't justify the risk when things go wrong and people die. the greater the risk, the greater the reward in most aspects of life, and in climbing that's certainly true, too. it's very physical, you use your mind and your body.
Real Hands Climbing
Mastery over the body - its impulses, its needs, its size - is paramount; to lose control is to risk beauty, and to risk beauty is to risk desirability, and to risk desirability is to risk entitlement to sexuality and love and self-esteem.
Self Esteem Risk Size
To love is to risk, not being loved in return. to hope is to risk pain. to try is to risk failure. but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in my life is to risk nothing.

The anti-imperialist, forces in the country [zimbabwe] here, i think are not that strong. the capitalist forces, the reactionary forces are far more formidable, far better organised. but we would have wanted to hear the voice of the anti-imperialist forces, those who espouse the cause of freedom, the cause of independence, everywhere.
Country Strong Thinking
You are never stuck, unless you are choosing to stay there. you are never limited, unless you choose to limit yourself. you are never less than, unless you choose to see yourself this way. you will never fail, unless you choose failure as an option. you are powerful beyond belief!

I'm a firm believer that when children have a strong conviction about something, it's often because there's some powerful experience from a past life. something that they didn't get to fulfill.

Many a man has risen to eminence under the powerful reaction of his mind in fierce counter-agency to the scorn of the unworthy, daily evoked by his personal defects, who with a handsome person would have sunk into the luxury of a careless life under the tranquillizing smiles of continual admiration.

Why ... do the myths of america the hateful take such powerful hold? because anti-americanism provides a useful emotional function which goes beyond logic and reaches deep into the darker recesses of the european soul. in centuries past those on the left who wished to personalise their hatred of capitalism, who sought to make it emotionally resonant by fastening an envious political passion on to a blameless scapegoat people, embraced anti-semitism. it was the socialism of fools. which is what anti-americanism is now.
