Points to Ponder 6  (on quotes)   I do feel that at the end, God put into all of us the ability to discern right and wrong, and conscience, rightly cultivated can be our guide to life.  Thus, Abraham Lincoln says it well when he says, ' When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.'    Here are 2 great quotes on how badly people don't want to think.  From Don Marquis, ' If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.'   This is a great insight when you are really managing people who just want to coast through life -- the ones that just wants to feel good instead of accomplishing good.   And a similar quote that expresses the same opinion, this time from Bertrand Russell, ' Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.'   I love to think, and cannot imagine that some people hate it....Maybe we are just different people -- some people also love rock music the way I try to avoid it, or takes easily to excelling in sports, when i do have problems even just being good in some of them.   Here's a perceptive observation on how to really know what other people think of you....  'To obtain a man's opinion of you, make him mad.'... Oliver Wendell Holmes.  And finally a gem from the playright, George Bernard Shaw, ' The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.'       Similar Posts:  Points to Ponder 5   Points to Ponder 4  Points to Ponder 3      Points to Ponder 2      8:30:36 PM     comment []   trackback []
