True and thank goodness also proof that a.i. machines will not easily manipulate us. Because we are organic emotional beings. We are highly complex animals that are able to communicate to other cells, other beings, by mere thought and wishes. We remember the feeling of an event, a person, a situation. We know more than we can explain we do

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
A good motivational quote can lift your spirits and turn your day around - but how does the right crafting of words hold so much power? The answer is in psychology. Although motivational psychology doesn't work on everyone, Jonathan Fader, PhD, founder of the Union Square Practice in New York City, says there is a certain segment of the population that is drawn to motivational quotes. These messages when said from the right source can strengthen the incentive power, “There’s a little bit of implicit coaching that’s happening when you’re reading it. It’s building that self-efficacy in that kind of dialogue that you’re having with yourself,” Fader says.

This quote stems from something Mark Twain wrote in "Pudd'nhead Wilson," namely, "Courage is mastery of fear, triumph over fear, not the absence of fear." The actual quote is a lot longer and describes how the flea would be regarded as the bravest creature on Earth were courage the absence of fear.
Quotes become famous not on the message alone but through the power of each word. Ward Farnsworth, dean of the University of Texas School of Law and author of Farnsworth’s Classical English Rhetoric explains that people have an “appetite for well-expressed wisdom, motivational or otherwise": ”Students of Latin see examples of aphorisms from 2,000 years ago, such as ubi concordia, ibi victoria, ‘where there is unity, there is victory.’ Usually, these sayings involve some keen insight put into memorable wording. They are little triumphs of rhetoric, in the old and positive sense of the word.”

A great lesson to make the most of our years, no matter how few (or many).
The right combination or phrasing of words are what dictate how effective the message is, whether it is good or bad. a 2000 study by cognitive scientists at Lafayette College found that when people were shown two versions of the same saying, participants were more likely to point to the rhyming aphorism as true: "Our results suggest that rhyme, like repetition, affords statements an enhancement in processing fluency that can be misattributed to heightened conviction about their truthfulness."

No one? That’s a bit of a stretch. Also, the people most often told to change themselves are being told this by those with power, influence, wealth... you know, the privilege to keep being however they want to be. I see more entitlement demonstrated by the people who are most often blaming others for being entitled. Of course people want to change the world when the dominant power structure is an opportunistic, abusive, and imbalanced system.

Seriously? That blanket statement is far too general. Without complaint, nothing ever changes for the better. If you don’t tell your relationship partners when there are problems, they cannot work with you to change things. When you don’t complain to doctors about ailments, you can’t be healed. It is patriotic to criticize your country where it is failing the people and the world. Etc.

An example of an attractive word arrangement is 'parallel construction,' where two halves of a claim are balanced. “An example is the use of parallel construction, so that the two halves of a claim are attractively balanced, such as ‘marry in haste, repent at leisure.’ The reversal of structure, or ‘chiasmus,’ is also attractive—‘ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country,’” explained Farnsworth.

Oh, Karen :( I'm with you <3 I too am a survivor of such a thing. My father was my abuser, and I was six. I only remembered those things a few years ago after a traumatic altercation with my abuser knocked those memories loose again. I lived to die for years and had fears about things that didn't make sense until those repressed memories came back. Spent years of my life attempting suicide, cutting, self medicating... treating myself as s****y as my abuser did because that's what my brain perceived as normal. Last week, after a solid month of daily panic attacks and fighting to make it through each day alive, I got fed the f**k up with carrying around responsibilities that I never created. I believed that I deserved it and was a piece of s**t because I was told those things and absorbed them as truth. You are not what happened to you. You didn't deserve what happened to you.

I saw this quote next to her picture in a hallway at school when I was in 3rd grade, but they were just words on a poster. They didn't click until 8th grade, when a boy in my class called me a very nasty slur. I was about to feel bad, but then I thought, "Who said I had to agree with him? I'm not a [slur]! That's what he wants, for me to agree with him and feel bad about myself. F**k that!" Then I remembered the quote and I got it.

Thank you, Karen. I agree wholeheartedly! Victimizers don't ask for consent. I used to work in the human services field, and I would see questionnaires that prospective foster parents had filled out. One woman answered the question about sexual abuse ever happening to her or in her family by saying it had never happened because she was careful who she spent time with. That comment hit me right in the face. I thought to myself, ''so the three year old you are applying to foster wasn't careful enough who they spent time with?' 'Are we now dumping guilt and shame on a blameless child who didn't ask for her lot in life and can do nothing about it?' Geez, let's do better! I work towards that goal every day.

Oh, so are we giving good quotes from people? OK, here's one from David Bowie. He was interviewed in 1975 by Russell Harty on ITV (I was only 5 years old and in the US in 1975, but I saw it on YouTube several years ago and it's still up, I think). When Harty asked Bowie whether he was disciplined, Bowie said: "Discipline doesn’t mean that you make sure you have breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning and you are out of the house at half past eight. Discipline is if you conceive something, then you decide whether or not it's worth following through—and if it's worth following through, then you follow it through to its logical conclusion, and doing it to the best of your ability." Not bad for a man who was probably coked to the gills during the interview, eh? And he demanded he get his allotted airtime and not be preempted (the interview was live), no matter that Generalissimo Francisco Franco had just died!

Success and hard work does not equal happiness... so why are all these quotes from successful people about doing successful things?? Happiness to me is being surrounded by loving friends and family and making them laugh. It isn't a designer car or mansion or stunning spouse. It is exploring with your friends in the middle of nowhere and enjoying any lifestyle, surrounded by imperfect people you love for being exactly the way they are. Why is being rich and surrounded by expensive beautiful people the "best position in life"?? I think it very well could be a small home to one person, a regular life with a bunch of dogs to another, and traveling the world with no stationary home to a third. One route to happiness will never work for everyone- that's why there are so many.
