More From John C. Maxwell

You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk r-rated. i mean i've got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. when a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they're not talking the way people talk on tv. unless it's cable.

On the contrary, it's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics . it's the things that nobody knows anything about that we can discuss. we can talk about the weather; we can talk about social problems; we can talk about psychology; we can talk about international finance gold transfers we can't talk about, because those are understood so it's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!

And be silent for the most part, or else make only the most necessary remarks, and express these in few words. but rarely, and when occasion requires you to talk, talk, indeed, but about no ordinary topics. do not talk about gladiators, or horseraces, or athletes, or things to eat or drink - topics that arise on all occasions; but above all, do not talk about people, either blaming, or praising, or comparing them.

Reagan was all about america, and you talked about it. obama is, 'we are above that now. we're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. we stand for something.' i mean, in a way, obama's standing above the country, above - above the world. he's sort of god. he's going to bring all different sides together.

I imagine a school system that recognizes learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, and that real learning is passionate learning. a school curriculum that values questions above answers...creativity above fact regurgitation...individuality above conformity.. and excellence above standardized performance..... and we must reject all notions of 'reform' that serve up more of the same: more testing, more 'standards', more uniformity, more conformity, more bureaucracy.

Some directors hand over portions of their movie to their head of department to the point where it's like, "i'm not going to talk to you about the costumes, but i'm going to let you talk to the expert." rather than, "you want to talk stitching, let's talk stitching. you want to talk grade of leather? let's."
