Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

Knock! knock! who's there? me! me who? that's right? what's right? meehoo! that's what i want to know! what's what you want to know? me who? yes, exactly! exactly what? yes, i have exactlywatt on a chain! exactly what on a chain? yes! yes what? no, exactlywatt! that's what i want to know! i told you-exactlywatt! exactly what? yes! yes what? yes it's with me. what's with you? exactlywatt-that's what with me. me who? yes! go away! knock knock...

Find a way to say “yes” to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job. yes is how you find your spouse, and even your kids.

In all spheres of modern life the influence of stalin reaches wide and deep. from his last simply written but vastly discerning and comprehensive document, back through the years, his contributions to the science of our world society remain invaluable. one reverently speaks of marx, engels, lenin and stalin—the shapers of humanity’s richest present and future.

The opposite of compromise is not integrity. the opposite of compromise is not idealism. the opposite of compromise is fanaticism and death. and yes, i know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and i reject them. the alternative to fanaticism and to death is not some miraculous realization that someone has been wrong and he has to apologize. no, the answer to fanaticism and to death is curiosity and compromise and concession.
