المخرج الوحيد من دائرة ندم الماضي و قلق المستقبل هو الإستغلال الأمثل للحظة الحالية

“Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the Present.”

الندم على ما فات في الماضي، و القلق مما سيحدث في المستقبل، يسبب ضغطا نفسيا يؤثر سلبيا على قدرة الشخص على العمل في الحاضر وعدم استغلاله، مما يبقيه في دائرة مفرغة من الندم و القلق و تجاهل الحاضر و عدم الإحساس بطعم الحياة.

يجب إداراك و تقبل أنك لا تملك إلا اللحظة الحالية، فلا يمكنك تغيير الماضي و لا تعرف ما يخبؤه المستقبل، و المخرج الوحيد من دائرة ندم الماضي و قلق المستقبل، هو الاستغلال الأمثل للحاضر.

يجب تغيير ردود أفعلك تجاه الماضي و المستقبل، من الندم و القلق إلى التعلم و الإعداد. فبدلا من الندم على أخطاء الماضي حاول التعلم منها، فليس هناك من لا يخطيء، ولا فائدة من جلد النفس إلا المزيد من الإحباط. وبدلا عن القلق من المستقبل، حاول التفكير فيما يمكن عمله للإسعداد له -إن شاء الله- من تخطيط جيد و عمل جاد.

The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend.

Chefs are nutters. They're all self-obsessed, delicate, dainty, insecure little souls and absolute psychopaths. Every last one of them.

Candidates matter. Campaigns matter. 'He can win' or 'She can't win' is up there with, 'I'm going to lose 10 pounds, win the lottery, and live forever.' Saying it does not make it so.

Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.

God will not forgive us if we fail.

I had old bunk beds that my dad got from Seabrook Farms. They were first used by German prisoners during World War II, who were sent to work the farms during the war. The metal beds with their thin mattresses could easily be used as a jungle gym and I loved them.

I was an accountant in Chicago, and a friend of mine, Ed Gallagher, was in advertising. At 4:30 every day I'd be bored, and I would call him. He'd interview me.

...I have been fed in my youth a lot of old wives tales about the way men would instantly forsake a beautiful woman to flock around a brilliant one. It is but fair to say that after geting out in the world I had never seen this happen.

Success is like scaling Everest. It is important that before you chase mountain, you sketch the Everest of your dreams.

The only thing that makes a book YA is that it is about teenagers, and it is written in a very conventional, non-artsy, non-pretentious way. YA is not the place for the oblique or the cryptic. If it is in any way experimental in form, it is not YA.

Hopeless romantics may follow their hearts all time stumble get hurt and fall but they will never stop breathing the magic of love no matter what happens

Pushing the boundaries of polite society does not just fall under the purview of crime fiction authors.

The next generation of innovators, who need neutrality the most, are not at the bargaining table. They're hard at work in their labs or classrooms, dreaming of the next big thing, and hoping that the Internet is as open to them as it was to the founders of Google.

America has survived and grown stronger through September 11th and subsequent wars with Afghanistan and Iraq and those who seek to do us harm. We have faced - and met - tremendous challenges ramping up a public health and safety system to protect Americans from future threats.

The new book is a result of my well-documented... absorption in Samurai movie culture. It's called 'The 47th Samurai: A Bob Lee Swagger novel,' and it takes Bob to Japan in search of the sword his father recovered on Iwo that has gone missing under extremely violent circumstances.

It's most presumptuous to believe we already know all the answers and will never get any more big surprises.
