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.

A few rare individuals refuse to live limited lives. They drive through tremendous amounts of pain—from rejections and failures to shorter moments of embarrassment and anxiety. They also handle the small, tedious pain required for personal discipline, forcing themselves to do things we all know we should do.

A society that does not correctly interpret and appreciate its past cannot understand its present fortunes and adversities and can be caught unawares in a fast changing world.

When the Taliban took over in 1996, the news of their crimes hit the Toronto papers. As a feminist and as an anti-war activist, I heard about what was happening to women, and I wanted to do something to support those folks.

I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?

I want to get a farm where I am going to live for the rest of my life. I like the idea of a secluded place.

The United States can't impose democracies. We can't impose our will. The Russians found that out in Afghanistan.

Tennis a racquet sport in which two players compete to see who has the shortest temper the worst memory the poorest eyesight and the slowest watch.

I've been to parties in L.A. that are mind-blowing. I mean, quite literally mind-blowing. People get cellphones in the party bag, that sort of thing. Fabulous, fabulous parties.

I think that's what I love about jazz is that you can do what you want, and you're allowed to mess up.

Instead of putting someone in prison for being a hooligan, give him a choice. He may have beaten someone up and he's got eight years, but tell him you can do eight years inside or spend five years in the Army. Put him in the Parachute Regiment, they'd soon sort him out.

I auditioned for a movie recently, and when I went in, the producer said he'd told one of its stars, Naomi Watts, that he was auditioning me, and she'd said, 'She's so funny; she's a great actress - you should hire her.' What a lovely, kind, and supportive thing to do for another woman.

In my 30s, I became more open to music other than country or bluegrass.

AIDS does not inevitably lead to death, especially if you suppress the co-factors that support the disease. It is very important to tell this to people who are infected.

And the sculptor woman was so clever in the way she did it. She had the beret just about to leave my hand. So it's attached to this finger and that's what will keep it there. And I'm looking up at it, so there's no question but that that beret is going to fly.
