Empiece de forma amigable

Demuestra aprecio honrado y sincero

Despierta en los demás un deseo

Interésate sinceramente por los demás

Sonríe

Recuerde y use su nombre

Escuche y animeles a hablar de ellos

Hable siemrpe de lo que interesa a los demás

Haga sinceramente que la otra persona se sienta importante

Nadie gana una discusión

Respete las opiniones ajenas

Admita sus equivocaciones

Consiga que diga sí inmediatamente

Permita que el otro hable más

Permita que la otra persona siente que la idea es de ella

Trate honradamente de ver las cosas desde el punto de vista del otro

Muestre simpatía por sus deseos

Dramatice sus ideas

Lance, con tacto, un reto amable

No critiques, condenes o te quejes

Life on the road is very different from a normal, day to day life, and sometimes that surrealistic existence can have an effect on you, you tend to forget that's not really how things are supposed to be. But there comes a point where you have to pace yourself and find a place in your mind where you can be real.

Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.

The presence and the present of America are a future; our continent is, by its nature, the land which does not exist on its own, but as something which is created and invented.

The time will come, without my seeking it, that my words will almost serve as law. If I ask a certain thing, it will be done. If I don't want something, it will not be done.

Many novelists take well-defined, precise characters, whose stories are sometimes of mediocre interest, and place them in an important historical context, which remains secondary in spite of everything.

A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.

I never wanted to be a scientist per se. I wanted to be a naturalist.

It's no accident that Julia Child appeared on public television - or educational television, as it used to be called. On a commercial network, a program that actually inspired viewers to get off the couch and spend an hour cooking a meal would be a commercial disaster, for it would mean they were turning off the television to do something else.

I don't have a philosophy for choosing roles. Sometimes, it's just, 'This might be interesting; that might be fun to do.' There might be interesting actors or directors in the project, even if the part is not important. And then sometimes, you need the money.

I'm a homebody. I like having my parents around.

You hate to see yourself do one draft of a script and then have somebody else come back in and change what you've done.

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.

Every life matters. Be like Mother Nature and love everyone without judging.

I used to tell my writing students that they must write the books they wished they could come upon - because then the books they hungered and thirsted for would exist.

Most of my recorded material has been in small group configurations. I have not released large orchestral works as recordings because it hasn't been within the realm of possibility.

The tone did take on a negativity that I didn't like and when you make the decision to go the other way as we did it very directly had an impact, you can see it with the tracking.

I've been writing since I'm five years old. I've been writing books since high school - junior high, high school. I write every single day. I never thought I'd be published.

The Premier League is not my goal but a childhood dream. It is a dream that could be fulfilled.

I like being on a set where you can make decisions and everything is involved and are happy to work together to make the best work. For me, it's all about making the best work and creative people working together and all being respected and all having their opinions of what gives it the best quality is important.

Everything seems simpler from a distance.

Yeah, I know, some people are against drunk driving, and I call those people "the cops." But you know, sometimes, you've just got no choice; those kids gotta get to school!

I understood that if I wanted to work, the saxophone was the main instrument. The clarinet was what we call a double.

So many people grew up in the church, and you can have an awesome upbringing, but I made a personal conviction; I made a personal decision when I was very young. I enjoy going to church without my parents. On Sunday mornings, I want to go. Bible studies on Wednesdays... I have a relationship - not just through my parents.

I always was fascinated with China, because I was born in Europe, and for us, China had this fascination and mystery. The first time I came here was in 1989. They were on bicycles, and the speed of the growth has been incredible.
