Words of Wisdom

Were the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no great war. No great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. Tyler Durden In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose. Jimmy Carter All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume. Noam Chomsky What ordinary people once made, they buy; and what they once fixed for themselves, they replace entirely or hire an expert to repair, whose expert fix often involves installing a premade replacement partso perhaps the time is ripe for reconsideration of an ideal that has fallen out of favor: manual competence. Matthew B. Crawford The world aint all sunshine and rainbows. Its a very mean and nasty place, and I dont care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep it permanently if you let it. Nobody is going to hit as hard as life. It aint about how hard you hit, is about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward, how hard you can take, and keep moving forward! Thats how winning is done! Now if you know what youre worth, go out and get what youre worth! But you gotta be willing to take the hits and not point fingers saying that you aint what you wanted to be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that, and that aint you! Youre better than that! Rocky Balboa O importante no tentar ser melhor que os outros. O importante tentar ser melhor do que voc j foi. Joo de Deus Mandur O neguin tem de que prest ateno no estudado! Me de Santa de Torres

Toda emancipao constitui uma restituio do mundo humano e das relaes humanas ao prprio homem. Karl Marx

I hated every minute of training. But I said to myself: Dont quit. Suffer now, and live the rest of your life as a champion. Muhammad Ali Campees no se tornam campees quando sobem ao pdio, mas nas horas, semanas, meses e anos que eles gastam se preparando para isso. A vitria em si a mera demonstrao de seu carter de campeo. Lance Armstrong In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than you fear of failure. Bill Cosby
