Episode 3025: Phil Cheney reflects on a painful experience of being underpaid after completing a renovation job and explains why one person's dishonesty doesn't have to destroy your faith in others. Through injury, disappointment, and self-reflection, he shares how trust is ultimately a personal choice rooted in self-awareness, boundaries, and resilience rather than the behavior of others. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://tinybuddha.com/blog/you-can-still-trust-even-if-youve-been-deceived/ Quotes to ponder: “You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.” “Don't assume you can't trust anyone because one person was untrustworthy. You can't control what everyone else does, and some people may deceive you, but you can control what you do, who you choose to trust, and what you learn from each experience.” “You see, my behavior in assessing how much to trust is within my control, while how the other person behaves is outside my control.” Episode references: Frank Crane: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Frank_Crane Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Johann-Wolfgang-von-Goethe Learn more about your ad choices.

Friedrich Schiller und Johann Wolfgang von Goethe schmiedeten 1794 einen gemeinsamen Plan. Ein kleines Geheimprojekt, mit dem sie es der spießbürgerlichen Literaturszene heimzahlen wollten und in deren Zentrum die Xenien standen. Der Begriff geht bereits zurück auf den römischen Dichter Martial und bezeichnet ursprünglich Begleitverse zu einem Gastgeschenk. Bei Schiller und Goethe aber bekamen die Xenien einen stark ironischen und satirischen Charakter - über 1000 Epigramme haben die beiden geschrieben als scharfe Kritik an der damaligen Kulturszene. Die Gattung geriet durch ihre Attacke in Verruf - heute haben die Xenien so gut wie keine Bedeutung mehr in der Literatur.
Humans have a tendency to shy away from failure, and for good reason. It hurts. It could cost us our jobs. But what if on the other side of that failure lived an innovation that drove amazing change? Maybe we'd think about failure differently. We think so. R.J. Talyor, CEO & Founder of Backstroke, joins us on this episode to talk about his favorite subject: failure. "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Walt Disney also said, "If you can dream it, you can do it." The current economy surrounding AI has a lot of hype but also a lot of potential. There is this potential for us to leverage AI to allow us to be more human, yet we tend to focus on the dark side where humans are no longer needed. Sure, change is coming. People will lose jobs or remain out of work because of AI tech implementation. But could there be more that lives on the other side of that? We think so. Grab your goggles and swim cap and let's dive right into it.What they coverAI has evolved dramatically from the 1950s to where we are now in the world of generative AI. It's enabled us to do things better & faster.All the AI hype about job replacement and destruction is an alamarist signaling for attention. The reality is change is on the horizon and there will be job loss but the potential is incredible.Beyond the AI hype is true creativity again. AI allows us to take the things machines can do well off our plates and truly lean into our humanness, i.e. creating art or building relationships.AI needs a why and an end goal to truly be functional. You can't just implement AI technology. You need to know why you're doing it and what you hope to achieve at the end of it for it to truly be a successful project.The Longer Game explores the future of retail across Amazon, ecommerce, and brick-and-mortar.The goal is simple: help brands grow by understanding how all channels work together.Retail is evolving.

Well Golden Gods and Fever dogs its a Podstalgia TM so its a real Digressionary one . Come find out about how everyone in the 70s was terrible with your two favorite guys who weren't there. Also his mother quotes Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, not Søren Kierkegaard although I'm sure Kierkegaard quoted Goethe at some point, but I digress.I'm on drugs.
...and a true renaissance man, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. This man was a scientist, poet, statesman, critic, theater director and part time anatomist. He also wrote the literary masterpiece "Faust" which he spent 60 years on and that artfully poses the question "what would you sell your soul to the devil for?" He invented his own theory on Colors, discovered a bone in the human face and Albert Einstein considered him one of the smartest people to ever live. All of that and we got him as a guest on the No Outlet Podcast! How you ask? Well it's explained in the episode but it involves an Intern from MIT and a super scary amount of illicit computing power. We hope you enjoyed the conversation as much as we did!#faust, #Goethe, #colors, #Germany, #Einstein, #Napoleon, #dogs, #MIT, #Willow, #Quantum, #Google

On this episode we chat with Dr. Troy Vine with the Ruskin Mill Centre for Practice in the United Kingdom about a new Master of Arts program in Transformative Learning that will be launching this fall, offering a unique opportunity to explore the contemplative model of science pioneered by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and practiced by Henry David Thoreau, Rudolf Steiner, and other out-of-the-box thinkers. Not only is this a different, more holistic way of doing science - it is also a pathway to inner transformation.After gaining a doctorate in particle physics from University College London, Dr. Troy Vine became interested in Goethe's theory of colour. Studying with leading authorities on the topic, he has published extensively on Goethe's colour science, both as writer and as editor. With artist Nora Löbe and physicist Matthias Rang he wrote the book Seeing Colour: A Journey Through Goethe's World of Colour, published by Floris Books in 2022. Troy is in the final stages of a second doctorate, this time in philosophy, at the Humboldt University of Berlin, with a thesis focusing on the history and philosophy of Goethe's colour science. Troy has taught Goethean colour science and the history and philosophy of holistic science more generally for over two decades, including at Schumacher College, where he was programme lead for MSc Holistic Science. Troy has recently drawn on this experience to design a MA programme in Transformative Learning for the Ruskin Mill Centre of Practice, that will begin this coming autumn.MA in Transformative Learning - https://rmcp.org.uk/ma-in-transformative-learning/Seeing Colour: A Journey Through Goethe's World of Colour: https://www.florisbooks.co.uk/blog/2024/02/19/seeing-colour-a-journey-through-goethes-world-of-colour/Thoreau College: https://thoreaucollege.org/
Wat heeft het werk van Goethe, Blake, Marsman, Süskind en Coleridge gemeen? Precies: ze vormden allemaal inspiratie voor de metalscene. Politiek tekstschrijver Daan de Neef legt het als een officieus hoogleraar literaire metal uit. En ga stemmen de 18e! Goed goed, wat een gemiddelde grunter in een microfoon schreeuwt, daar versta je natuurlijk helemaal niets van. Maar wie de songteksten erbij pakt, komt erachter dat veel metalbands zeer succesvol schatduiken in de wereld van de literatuur. Om beter te begrijpen wat literatuur precies voor de metal betekent, is vandaag Daan de Neef te gast. Je kent Daan mogelijk als oud-kamerlid, voormalig tekstschrijver van Mark Rutte en het tekstuele geweten van Rotterdams burgemeester Carola Schouten. Minder bekend is dat deze boomlange metalhead officieus hoogleraar literaire metal is. In deze editie van Dood & Verderf legt Daan uit hoe bands als Iron Maiden, Moonspell en Terzij De Horde leunen op de letteren. Zij brengen namelijk vergeten en gevierde schrijvers als William Blake, Patrick Suskind en Hendrik Marsman onder de aandacht bij een compleet nieuw publiek. Vind je dit tof?

Playlist Iron Maiden - Rime of the ancient mariner (Powerslave, 1984) Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was een Engels dichter, filosoof en literair criticus. Hij is vooral bekend om zijn romantische poëzie, met name om zijn gedichten The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Christabel en Kubla Khan. Moonspell - Herr Spiegelmann (Irreligious, 1997) Het parfum is de bekendste roman van de Duitse auteur Patrick Süskind. Het boek verscheen in 1985 en was een wereldwijde bestseller. De single "Du riechst so gut" van de Duitse rockband Rammstein en het nummer "Herr Spiegelmann" van de Portugese gothicmetalband Moonspell zijn naar verluidt beïnvloed door de roman. Terzij de Horde - Wacht / Lex Barbarorum (idem, 2015) Hendrik Marsman (Zeist, 30 september 1899 - Golf van Biskaje, 21 juni 1940) was een Nederlands dichter, vertaler en literair criticus. Marsman behoorde tot het vitalisme en het expressionisme. Skyclad - Great blow for a day job (Oui Avant-Garde a Chance, 1996) Faust is het belangrijkste werk van de Duitse schrijver Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832). Hierin laat Faust zich verleiden tot een pact met de duivel om al zijn wensen te laten uitkomen. Ulver - The Argument, Plate 2 (Themes From William Blake's The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell, 1998) William Blake's The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell is een serie teksten die bijbelse profetie imiteren, maar Blake's persoonlijke romantische en revolutionaire overtuigingen uitdrukken. Het werk bevat de beroemde Proverbs of Hell, provocatieve en paradoxale uitspraken ontworpen om gedachten te stimuleren. Zwaar Aanbevolen Miserere Luminis - les fleurs de l'exil (Sidera, 2026) Vanuit de bibliotheek van het online magazine Zware Metalen krijg je als lees- en luistertip Sidera, het nieuwe album van de Canadese blackmetalband Miserere Luminis. Sidera kreeg bijna een 10 van de recensenten. Zo schreef eindredacteur Patrick over het album: “Voor mij is muzikale volmaaktheid een illusie, een onbereikbare utopie… slechts uitzonderlijk voelt een album zo dicht bij die perfecte harmonie als Sidera van Miserere Luminis.” Dat is mede dankzij de teksten, die vaak diepe, emotionele thema's aansnijden. Dat hoor je ook écht terug in de zang, ook al is die in het Frans. Lees de recensie op Zware Metalen
QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.”~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), statesman, scientist, master of the German language “A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.”~Horace Mann (1796-1859), educational reformer, politician, and abolitionist “To see the law by Christ fulfilled,And hear his pardoning voice,Changes a slave into a child,And duty into choice.”~William Cowper (1731-1800), English poet and hymnwriter “Our pleasure and our duty,Though opposite before,Since we have seen His beautyAre joined to part no more.”~John Newton (1725-1807), slave trader turned abolitionist and pastor “Run, John, and work, the law commands,yet finds me neither feet nor hands,But sweeter news the gospel brings,it bids me fly and lends me wings!”~John Berridge (1716–1793), English revivalist and hymnist “Regeneration is the sovereign act of God by His Holy Spirit whereby he implants new life (a new heart) into man so that the thoughts and inclinations of man's heart are disposed unto holiness. God creates a hunger and thirst for the bread and living water which comes from heaven. The Bible calls regeneration being ‘born again' or ‘born of the Spirit'.”~ Rev. Paul Treick (1944-2025), Christian minister and writer “This monster of self-righteousness, this stiff-necked beast, needs a big axe. And that is what the law is, a big axe…. When the law drives you to the point of despair, let it drive you a little farther. Let it drive you straight into the arms of Jesus who says: ‘Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'”~Martin Luther (1483-1546), German reformerSERMON PASSAGERomans 2:17-29 (ESV) 17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; 19 and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law. 24 For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” 25 For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. 28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.
“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Die Karnevalsmuffel haben die Hochburgen an Rhein und Main längst verlassen oder vergraben sich hinter der Olympiaberichterstattung. Alle anderen, mich inbegriffen, werden langsam aber sicher hibbelig und vorfreudig aufgeregt und können es kaum erwarten, dass es endlich losgeht – der vielgeliebte Rosenmontagszug. Für mich diesmal nur am Fernseher, aber für viele live und in Farbe in Köln, Mainz, Bonn oder auch in den vielen kleinen Städtchen und Dörfern. Aber, aber es ist doch immer noch Krieg in der Ukraine, da kann man doch nicht feiern? Und außerdem gibt es doch immer noch die Angst vor Anschlägen. Ja, der Krieg dauert immer noch an und ein Ende ist nicht abzusehen und Drohungen, die Feierfreude mit Anschlägen niederzumachen, ist nicht von der Hand zu weisen. Aber wir feiern, weil nach all dem Schrecklichen der letzten Jahre die Sehnsucht nach Gemeinschaft, nach miteinander Singen und Tanzen, sich verkleiden und vergnügt sein, so groß ist. So ist das Leben: Krieg und Frieden, Freude und Leid, Angst und Jubel, Trauer und Erlösung liegen so dicht beieinander, dass es, gerade in unserer Zeit fast mit den Händen greifbar wird. Singen gegen die Angst, zusammenschunkeln gegen die Einsamkeit, Jubeln und Lachen gegen Hass und Hetze und das viele Böse. Die einen mögen es Schicksal nennen, gegen das man ohnehin nichts machen kann. Aber andere, ich auch, lebe eher aus einer Hoffnung und einer Gewissheit. Die Gewissheit, dass die Menschen schon oft unlösbar scheinende Katastrophen und Kriege überstehen und wieder neu anfangen konnten und die Hoffnung, dass da ein guter Gott ist, dem wir nicht gleichgültig sind, sondern der uns liebt und unsere Wege mitgeht – in Kreuz und Leid, in Lust und Fröhlichkeit und in allen graubunten Farben dazwischen. In einem Kindergarten malen Kinder viele schöne Karnevalsbilder. Die Erzieherin schaut zu und merkt, dass ein Mädchen sehr vergnügt kunterbunt malt. Was malst Du? wird sie gefragt. „Ich male Gott“, ist die klare Antwort. Aber es weiß doch niemand, wie Gott aussieht, gibt die Frau zu bedenken. „In einer Minute schon“ sagt das Kind. Ist das nicht herrlich? Ein Wort von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, dem großen Dichterfürsten, passt wunderbar dazu. Er sagte einmal: „Wenn ich an Gott dachte, war ich heiter und vergnügt.“ Denken wir also heute, beim Feiern und Schunkeln zwischendurch immer mal an Gott und seien wir heiter und vergnügt.

Part one of three. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe often spoke of a dangerous but invigorating life-force that he christened "the daemonic". In his conversations with Eckermann, and in his autobiography Dichtung und Wahrheit, he describes the daemonic by direct reference to Spinoza, and his pantheist philosophy. In this first episode of our series on Goethe's Daemonic, we're going to look at Goethe's statement of the idea, then go back in time to consider: Plato's Symposium, the daemonion of Socrates, the writings of Philo of Alexandria, Justin Martyr and St. Augustine, and finally, the alleged Spinozism of the playwright Gotthold Lessing and the "pantheism controversy" that emerged over Lessing's legacy, argued by Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi and Moses Mendelssohn.Next week (part two) will involve a closer reading of Goethe's concept of the daemonic and the influence of Herder on Goethe's reception of Spinoza. Episode art: Lessing, pictured in front of some Greek daimones.
Episode 383 applies Napoleon Hill's timeless principles to sales, showing how decision, persistence, and the mastermind turn inner preparation into consistent results. Learn practical, neuroscience-backed actions to make clear decisions, sustain effort through resistance, and multiply success by aligning with the right people. Welcome back to Season 15 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast — where we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience to create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. I'm Andrea Samadi. And seven years ago, when we launched this podcast, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask — either in school, in business, or in life: If productivity and results matter — and they matter now more than ever — how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to work with our brain instead of against it. We were taught what to do — but not how to think, decide, persist, or align with others in ways that produce consistent results. That question pulled me into a decade-long exploration of the mind–brain–results connection — and how neuroscience can be applied to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, I bring you the world's leading experts so we can break down complex science — and turn it into practical strategies you can apply immediately for predictable, science-backed outcomes. And that brings us to today's Episode 383 — where we are going back to reconnect to a powerful 6-part series we originally recorded in 2022 around a book that has shaped achievement for generations: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series[i] We used that book as a framework to launch our year, back in 2022, walking chapter by chapter through the principles my mentor, Bob Proctor, studied for over 50 years of his life. Not casually. Not occasionally. But as a daily discipline for creating results — in business, health, relationships, and purpose. That 6-part series was about the basics — the inner mechanics that govern all achievement. And those basics still matter just as much today. What we're doing now is not revisiting this material because it's old. We're revisiting it because it's timeless. PART 3 — From Decision to Momentum Decision • Persistence • The Power of the Mastermind In Part 3 today, of our Think and Grow Rich for Sales study, we move from inner preparation to outer execution. Up to this point, the earlier chapters have shaped belief, certainty, vision, and authority. But results are not created by preparation alone. They are created when inner mastery is followed by decisive action, sustained effort, and collective intelligence. This is where most people stall—and where sales mastery is forged. Decision We begin with Decision, the moment where intention becomes irreversible. Indecision leaks certainty. Decision creates momentum. Successful people decide quickly and change course slowly. In sales, this means committing to your value, your process, and your outcome before the conversation begins—so hesitation never enters the room. Persistence Next comes Persistence, the force that carries decisions through resistance, delay, and rejection. Persistence is not intensity—it is refusal to quit when progress is invisible. In sales, persistence keeps conversations alive, turns “no” into information, and allows momentum to compound long after others have disengaged. The Power of the Mastermind Finally, we arrive at The Power of the Mastermind—where individual effort becomes exponential. When two or more minds unite in harmony around a definite purpose, a third force emerges: clarity, creativity, and certainty launch beyond individual thinking. This chapter reveals why no great achievement—and no sustained sales success—is built alone. Decision commits you. Persistence carries you. The Mastermind multiplies you. Together, these three principles turn vision into execution and effort into inevitable results. EP 383 — Think and Grow Rich for Sales where we're applying those same principles through a very specific lens — one I've wanted to explore for a long time. Sales. Not sales as tactics. Not sales as scripts. But sales as the external expression of inner mastery. Because here's the truth: You don't need to be in sales for these principles to work — but if you are in sales, they become a powerful advantage. Why Part 3 Matters Today we're covering Decision, Persistence, and The Power of the Mastermind — the principles that separate intention from execution. Up until now in this series, (PART 1 and PART 2) we've been building the inner foundation: Thought Desire Faith Autosuggestion Specialized Knowledge Imagination Organized Planning Those chapters shape belief, certainty, authority, and vision. But Part 3 is where things get real. Because: Decision is where hesitation ends. Persistence is where most people quit. The Mastermind is where momentum multiplies. This is the phase where inner mastery must turn into consistent action, even when results are delayed, resistance appears, or confidence wavers. How the 6-Part Series Maps Directly to Sales Mastery Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied intentionally. Each chapter: Upgrades your inner state Shapes how you show up in conversations Influences the certainty others feel around you And determines whether opportunities compound… or stall That's why this series is called: Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich — through a modern neuroscience + sales lens So today, as we move into Decision, Persistence, and The Power of the Mastermind, ask yourself one question: Where in your life — or your sales process — have you been preparing… but not fully deciding? Because once a decision is made — and backed by persistence and you've got the right people to support you — everything begins to move. Let's begin PART 3. Chapter VIII: Decision Core Idea Decision is the moment where intention becomes irreversible. Success is not delayed by lack of ability, knowledge, or opportunity—it is delayed by indecision. Those who succeed decide quickly, commit fully, and change course slowly. In sales (and life), certainty follows decision, not the other way around. Sales Application Decide before the call who you are, what you stand for, and the value you bring. This starts with you on the inside, and reflects to others on the outside. Eliminate hesitation by committing to the outcome, not the comfort Stop outsourcing decisions to opinions, objections, or fear of rejection Make decisions promptly, then execute consistently without reopening the question Understand that most stalled deals are not about price or timing—they're about your certainty When you (as the leader) decide fully: Your tone steadies Your message sharpens Your presence communicates leadership Buyers feel that decisiveness immediately. Listener Takeaway Indecision leaks certainty. Decision creates forward momentum. You don't get stuck because you chose the wrong path. You get stuck because you never fully chose one at all. Once a decision is made—and all other options are removed—behavior aligns, confidence follows, and results begin to compound. The Moment Where Commitment Creates Momentum Napoleon Hill opens Chapter 8 on Decision with a striking conclusion drawn from an accurate analysis of over 25,000 men and women who had experienced failure: “Lack of decision was near the head of the list of the 30 major causes of failure.” (CH 8, p. 157, Think and Grow Rich) Hill is clear—this is not theory. It is fact. Those who succeed, he explains, “had the habit of reaching decisions promptly and of changing these decisions slowly, if and when they were changed.” (CH 8, p. 157) In contrast, those who fail hesitate, (have you ever heard a LEADER say “I don't know?) NEVER! They never second-guess, or remain trapped in indecision—and others often mistake their delay for being cautious. Decision Is a Habit, Not a Moment Hill points to Henry Ford as a living example of decisiveness in action. One of Ford's most outstanding qualities, Hill writes, was “his habit of reaching decisions quickly and definitely, and changing them slowly.” (CH 8, p. 158) This distinction matters. Successful people are not reckless—but once they decide, they commit. They do not constantly reopen the question. They move forward. Hill challenges the reader directly: “You have a brain and mind of your own. Use it, and reach your own decisions.” (CH 8, p. 159) Indecision, he argues, is often the result of allowing the opinions of others to dilute our own thinking. The more people we consult, the more fragmented our certainty becomes. Decision Requires Courage Decision, by its nature, demands courage. Hill reminds us that “the great decisions which served as the foundation of civilization were reached by assuming great risks.” (CH 8, p. 160) History is filled with individuals who stepped forward before there was certainty—people who acted without guarantees, yet changed the course of their lives and the world. This truth resonated deeply with me years ago, before I made the decision to move from Toronto to the United States. Around that time, I purchased a poster that still hangs in my office today. It's on the top of my bookshelf, to the right of my desk in my field of view. At the top of this picture is the word COURAGE, followed by a poem attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: The poster says- *“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” Make your decisions and NEVER look back. Closing Thought — Chapter VIII: Decision Clarity does not come before the decision. Clarity comes because of the decision. The moment you decide—fully, cleanly, and without retreat—your behavior changes, your energy stabilizes, and your certainty becomes visible to others. That certainty is what moves conversations forward, closes deals, and creates momentum. Indecision keeps you negotiating with fear. Decision puts you back in leadership. Once a decision is made, the path begins to reveal itself—and persistence becomes possible. And that's where we're headed next. Chapter IX: Persistence The Force That Turns Intention Into Inevitability Core Idea Persistence is the sustained application of will over time. It is not intensity. It is not motivation. It is refusal to quit when progress is invisible. This is where we need our belief, our faith and imagination to come into play. Napoleon Hill describes persistence as “to character, what carbon is to steel.” (CH 9, p. 178, TAGR) Without it, even the strongest ideas collapse. With it, ordinary effort becomes extraordinary. Those who succeed are often misunderstood—not because they are reckless, but because they are unwilling to stop. Hill writes that successful people are often seen as “cold-blooded or ruthless,” when in reality, “what they have is willpower, which they mix with persistence.” (CH 9, p. 175) Persistence is the bridge between decision and the results that you attain. Sales Application In sales, persistence is not pressure—it is professional resolve. Persistence keeps you in the conversation after the first “no” It transforms rejection into information to uncover more It replaces emotional reaction with strategic and timely follow-up It conditions you to ask better questions instead of walking away A persistent salesperson does not hear “no” as rejection—they hear it as: “Not now” “Not this way” “Not with this information” So they ask: What changed? What would need to be true for this to move forward? Is timing, budget, or authority the real obstacle? Persistence is what allows a salesperson to: Maintain relationships when deals stall To be able to re-enter conversations when conditions change Be remembered when others disappear Without persistence, opportunities die quietly. With persistence, doors reopen. Strengthening Your Persistence Muscle Persistence is not a personality trait—it is a trained discipline. One of the most powerful exercises I learned while working with Bob Proctor was designed specifically to build persistence into habit. The assignment was simple: Read Chapter 9 Persistence from Think and Grow Rich — every day, for 14 days in a row. Miss one day? You start over at Day 1. Years later, in 2019, Paul Martinelli issued the same challenge to me. I thought it would be easy. It wasn't. Life intervenes. Schedules shift. Distractions will appear during your reading time. One morning, as I was reading early in my office, one of my kids came in not feeling well. I put the book down to help her. The day began—and I missed the chapter. What happened next mattered: I had to remove something else from my schedule to stay committed. That's the lesson. Persistence isn't tested when things are convenient. It's tested when something reasonable tries to knock it off course. Try this challenge yourself. Track every day. Notice what shows up to distract you. You'll learn more about yourself in those 14 days than you ever could have expected. Listener Takeaway Persistence compounds quietly. It doesn't announce itself. It doesn't feel dramatic. But over time, it becomes unbeatable. Most people stop just before momentum begins. Persistence is staying in motion long enough for the tide to turn. When to Let Go Persistence is not stubbornness. There are moments when walking away is appropriate—but only after your best effort has been applied. My Dad used to say: “Andrea, what's for you won't go by you.” I've found that to be true. When persistence has been honored—when you've shown up fully, asked the hard questions, followed through consistently—clarity eventually arrives. Sometimes the answer is not yet. Sometimes it's not this. Sometimes it's something better. Force negates. Persistence clarifies. Final Thought — Chapter IX: Persistence Persistence is not heroic in the moment. It is heroic in hindsight. It is the quiet decision to show up again— to follow through again— to believe again— long after most people would have stopped. Without persistence, talent fades. With persistence, effort compounds. And once persistence is in place, the power of the Mastermind becomes unstoppable. That's where we go next. Chapter X: The Power of the Mastermind Why Sales Is Never a Solo Game Collective intelligence multiplies results. Core Idea A Mastermind is not a meeting. It is not networking. It is not collaboration for convenience. A Mastermind is the creation of a third force. Napoleon Hill defines it clearly: “No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible, intangible force that may be likened to a third mind.” (CH 10, p. 195, Think and Grow Rich) This chapter reveals that achievement accelerates when two or more minds unite in harmony around a definite purpose. What emerges is a form of collective intelligence—greater than any one individual's thinking. Hill calls this power: “The Master Mind may be defined as coordinated knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.” (CH 10, p. 195) This is where vision gains momentum—and plans finally move. Sales Application In sales, the Mastermind is a force multiplier. It sharpens thinking beyond individual blind spots It accelerates problem-solving when deals stall It stabilizes certainty when confidence wavers It prevents isolation, which quietly erodes persistence Sales is often practiced alone—but mastery is built together. High-performing sales professionals: Test ideas with trusted thinking partners Debrief losses without ego Share language, patterns, objections, and breakthroughs Borrow certainty when needed—and lend it when others falter When you bring your challenges into the right room, clarity emerges faster. As Hill reminds us: “Plans are inert and useless without sufficient power to translate them into action.” (CH 10, p. 193) The Mastermind is that power. Why the Mastermind Works Hill explains this principle through energy: “The human mind is a form of energy.” (CH 10, p. 196) When minds align, energy compounds. I first felt this power in May of 2001, working in the seminar industry, listening to the late Doug Wead speak on what he called “The Third-Party Principle.” He described it as a triple-braided cord—a force formed when two or more people come together around a shared aim. If you've ever been part of a true Mastermind, you know the feeling: Ideas flow differently Certainty increases Problems shrink Creativity replaces competition You don't leave the same way you arrived. Listener Takeaway You do not need to be the smartest person in the room. You need to be in the right room. Progress accelerates when you stop trying to think your way forward alone. One plus one does not equal two. In a Mastermind, one plus one equals three. Have you ever felt this? The creation of a third mind, when speaking with two or more people? It's a powerful experience. How to Create Your Own Mastermind WHO to Invite People who share your values and beliefs People who think differently than you People who challenge assumptions without attacking identity Hill even notes: “Some of the best sources for creating your own Mastermind are your own employees.” (CH 10, p. 200) Seek harmony, not sameness. WHEN to Meet Commit to a consistent cadence (monthly or quarterly) Meet for at least one year Treat it as non-negotiable Momentum requires continuity. WHAT to Notice Over time, you'll observe: A calm certainty replacing mental noise Creativity emerging where frustration once lived New pathways revealed where you saw roadblocks Others will see progress when you see obstacles. That's the power. Historical Proof Hill reminds us: “Henry Ford began his business career under the handicap of poverty, illiteracy, and ignorance…” (CH 10, p. 197) Ford's most rapid growth began when he aligned with Thomas Edison. Modern examples echo the same truth: Bill Gates Steve Jobs Jeff Bezos None built alone. All relied on thinking partners. Final Thought — Chapter X: The Power of the Mastermind No great achievement is the result of isolated brilliance. It is the result of aligned minds, sustained harmony, and shared purpose. Decision commits you. Persistence carries you. But the Mastermind multiplies you. When the right minds come together, progress no longer depends on force— it becomes inevitable. And with that, the formula is complete.

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Life is a journey, not a destination." — Ralph Waldo Emerson “The road doesn't guarantee clarity—but it's where clarity most often appears.” — Lee Brower “The Lord loves effort, because effort brings rewards that cannot come without it.” — Russell M.

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
“You live a new life for every language you speak. If you know only one language, you live only once.” ―Czech proverb Did you know that 92% of students in Europe learn another language in school, and nearly a quarter of Canadians can hold a conversation in both English and French. Roughly one out of every two people on the planet knows at least two languages, and three out of four humans don't speak English. (source: ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) That may sound hyperbolic or pie-in-the-sky, but take a moment and consider what a democracy rests upon: civility, acceptance of differences, even if the majority rules, minority's rights are protected, along with a educated populous in vast fields of knowledge. These benefits, as we will talk about in more detail at the end of today's post, not only benefit the individual in the career and life pursuits, they also benefit the social and economic security of a democracy. "Growth in the number of people speaking languages in addition to English creates new opportunities for greater cross-cultural understanding, and integrates different ideas and perspectives in ways that will improve democratic discourse." —The Century Foundation As we get older, the argument is that it becomes more difficult to acquire a new language, and while that can be true, it depends more heavily upon the individual, their cognitive strength, the type of language they are learning (what Group level is it), as well as their awareness about what it takes to learn a new language. Yes, there will be challenges. Yes, you will be required to set aside your ego, and yes, it will take dedicated and consistent effort for at least 500 hours of learning to gain basic proficiency in a Grade I language (French and Spanish are included in this category). But the temporary stress is worth it for all that is gained. “A man who is ignorant of foreign languages is also ignorant of his own language.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Let's take a look four truths that are revealed about someone who chooses to learn a new language. Each worthwhile attributes that not coincidentally play fundamental roles in living a life of contentment.

In der neuen Folge unseres Literaturpodcasts "Was liest du gerade?" diskutieren Iris Radisch und Adam Soboczynski über das neue Buch von Caroline Wahl und den Streit, der im deutschen Feuilleton und im Netz über die Bestsellerautorin ausgebrochen ist. Außerdem geht es um ein echtes Meisterwerk: Ian McEwans neuer Roman "Was wir wissen können". Es spielt in der Zukunft: Großbritannien ist ein Inselmeer, Hamburg und London sind nach einem Atomunfall untergegangen, Deutschland gehört zu Russland. Warum, fragen sich die jungen Leute im Jahr 2119, war die vergangene Zivilisation so bescheuert, einfach unterzugehen? Für sie sind wir nicht weniger beschränkt als die Menschen, die sich im Dreißigjährigen Krieg gegenseitig abgeschlachtet haben. Aber sie bewundern auch unsere Freiheit und unseren Luxus, denn ihre Lebenserwartung liegt nur noch bei 62 Jahren. Und leckeres Essen gibt es auch nicht mehr. Außerdem geht es um Dorothee Elmigers Roman "Die Holländerinnen", der es auf die Shortlist zum Deutschen Buchpreis geschafft hat. Eine Theatergruppe reist auf den Spuren eines echten Kriminalfalls durch Panama, wo im Jahr 2014 zwei Holländerinnen im Urwald verschwunden sind. Es wird eine Expedition ins "Herz der Finsternis", auch wenn es nur eine Kunstaktion ist, ein Reenactment. Die Autorin erzählt besonders kunstvoll und mit vielen literarischen und philosophischen Anspielungen von der Faszination des Menschen für das abgrundtief Entsetzliche. Unser Klassiker ist Goethes Longseller "Die Leiden des jungen Werther", das schönste und traurigste Buch über die erste ganz große Liebe eines jungen Mannes.

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” k 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. 16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” Galatians 5:13–26Explain the concept of Legalism and License and how they both lead to slavery… The Flesh leans toward both legalism and license1.

Viaggio virtuale a Napoli - Spendieren Sie einen Cafè (1€)? Donate a coffee (1€)? https://ko-fi.com/italiano Livello B1#Viaggio #Napoli #italia #vhs #vacationConsigli su cosa vedere a NapoliCari amici e amanti dell'italiano benvenuti al nuovo episodio di Tulip. Sicuramente molti di voi avranno approfittato delle vacanze di Pasqua per fare un viaggio e oggi voglio continuare a viaggiare con voi virtualmente e vi parlo di una città italiana così bella e così interessante che anche Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ha detto: „Vedi Napoli e poi muori“.C'è però un'altra storia, una vera e propria leggenda che dice che un tempo viveva una strega potentissima. Tutti pensavano che avesse die poteri oscuri, cattivi, in realtà la strega Raziella era buona e aiutava gli altri. All'epoca a Napoli andavano tutti quelli che avevano problemi di cuore, soffrivano per amore. Arrivati a Napoli, erano talmente stregati dalle bellezze della città che dimenticavano i loro problemi. Purtroppo però al momento di ripartire e tornare a casa i problemi tornavano e chi soffriva per amore tornava triste e non aveva più voglia di vivere.Raziella allora creò una bevanda stregata, un vino inebriante, capace di far dimenticare i ricordi dolorosi. Prima di partire le persone bevevano il vino magico e, come per incanto, dimenticavano tutto. Tutto ciò era quasi come morire per poi rinascere e da qui il detto „vedi Napoli e poi muori“.Bene amici cominciamo con Spaccanapoli. Spaccanapoli è una vita dritta che divide la città nel mezzo in due parti. Ha origini molto antiche ed è uno dei tre decumani con i quali i romani dividevano la città. Il verbo spaccare infatti significa “spalten, brechen/ti split, to break). Si può ammirare molto bene salendo a San Martino, dove c'è la Certosa un bellissimo monastero. ...- The full transcript of this Episode is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.

José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço is a Toronto-based writer and filmmaker whose debut film, “Young Werther,” reimagines Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's classic novella “The Sorrows of Young Werther” as a modern-day rom-com. José sits down with Tom Power to talk about the film and why he thinks this 18th-century German tragedy is a universal story that we can still learn from today.
Father Len reveals the real “reason for the season” is us. Make a financial donation here: https://www.GiveSendGo.com/WWGProductions Highlights, Ideas, and Wisdom “When I look at the world upside down, that's when it seems right to me.” – Jeret "Speedy" Peterson Father Len tells a story about geese to illustrate why God became a human being. Christmas is a revelation of who we are meant to be. To be good is to become a true human being. Our true humanity is to live like Christ. “Christianity is the attitude of amazement at the dignity of the human person.” – Pope John Paul II “The glory of God is a human being fully alive.” – Irenaeus “Paradise Lost” by John Milton “Faust” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Sin is the temptation to stop being a true human being. Evil is the no to human goodness. Evil is the no to all that is good. Satan is not one who hates God. Satan is one who believes that God can't love him or us. The good news of Christmas is that God became one of us to show us how to become true human beings and discover the goodness of being a true human being. Salvation is not the story of God rescuing us from an evil universe. Salvation is the story of God coming as one like us to teach us what true goodness looks like. Absolute love will embrace death. Absolute love cannot be contained by the tomb. Sin is anything that deprives us of our full humanity. Christmas is the beginning of the journey to our true humanity to love and to be connected.

Tolerance is the opposite of repentance. This why the world loves tolerance. Evil doesn't stop itself! Encouragement is one of the best tools in evangelism Types of Christians/Christianity Cultural / American Carnal / yes savior, but no to the Lordship Religious / Rule followers Spirit led / Follow scripture according to the new wine, led by the Holy Spirit which always follows scripture, but does like religion. Who hates Spirit led Christians? Cultural, Carnal and Religious… along with the world. The measure of your success depends on the measure of your belief. And if you believe you will put actions behind it. Whom the gods destroy they first make angry. Faith vs. Doubt You: I don't believe it. Me: Thats ok, it's already happened. Carry on. You are the kind of person that complains about the weather. You can't do anything about it. And yet what you can change you still complain about, but do nothing to change. You my friend are the definition of a fools fool. If you can fog a mirror you can volunteer I recently had a couple in counseling and the man said “Would you please shut up, I am trying to communicate”. And there in lies the problem. Irony. “Instruction does much, but encouragement, everything.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Remember, when you try to be someone else you become replaceable. Uniqueness and individuality is your path to greatness. Garth H
In her new FX docuseries “Social Studies,” the artist and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield delves into the post-pandemic lives—and phones—of a group of L.A. teens. Screen recordings of the kids' social-media use reveal how these platforms have reshaped their experience of the world in alarming ways. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss how the show paints a vivid, empathetic portrait of modern adolescence while also tapping into the long tradition of fretting about what the youths of the day are up to. The hosts consider moral panics throughout history, from the 1971 book “Go Ask Alice,” which was first marketed as the true story of a drug-addicted girl's downfall in a bid to scare kids straight, to the hand-wringing that surrounded trends like rock and roll and the postwar comic-book craze. Anxieties around social-media use, by contrast, are warranted. Mounting research shows how screen time correlates with spikes in depression, loneliness, and suicide among teens. It's a problem that has come to define all our lives, not just those of the youth. “This whole crust of society—people joining trade unions and other kinds of things, lodges and guilds, having hobbies,” Cunningham says, “that layer of society is shrinking. And parallel to our crusade against the ills of social media is, how do we rebuild that sector of society?” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Social Studies” (2024)“Into the Phones of Teens,” by Naomi Fry (The New Yorker)“Generation Wealth” (2018)Marilyn Manson“Reviving Ophelia,” by Mary Pipher“Go Ask Alice,” by Beatrice Sparks“Forrest Gump” (1994)“The Rules of Attraction,” by Bret Easton Ellis“Less Than Zero,” by Bret Easton Ellis“The Sorrows of Young Werther,” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe“Seduction of the Innocent,” by Fredric Wertham“Has Social Media Fuelled a Teen-Suicide Crisis?,” by Andrew Solomon (The New Yorker)“The Anxious Generation,” by Jonathan Haidt“Bowling Alone,” by Robert D.

Faust, a Tragedy by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1808) VS Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann (1947)
In discussions about technology, and maybe especially within climatetech, the concept of the "Faustian bargain" is common. But what does it actually mean, and is it as simple as concept as it is typically considered? In today's special Halloween episode, Reversing Climate Change host, Ross Kenyon, intros the show by giving the necessary historical context to understand Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust, and to contrast it against Christophe Marlowe's Doctor Faustus. Get ready for a dose of Romanticism. When the Faustian bargain is invoked, it usually means a bad deal—one with no upside except for a short-sighted one. And that may be true for Marlowe's Faust, but Goethe's Faust wins his bet with Mephistopheles and his soul is never damned. What does that mean for how we use the term, when persistent survival if not actual upside is reintroduced into the Faustian bargain? What if, at least according to Goethe, making a deal with the devil isn't always as straightforwardly bad as one might think? Today's guest is frequent podcast alumni and multihyphenate, Daniel Backer. Daniel produces virtuosic music, writes insightful novels, and creates video content about literary fiction on both his YouTube and TikTok channels. Be sure to follow his work! Daniel and Ross spend much of the show exploring what it does to one's brain to take claims of high strangeness, the paranormal, and the occult seriously, and why horror films (especially those of Ari Aster) deserve a better reputation. Happy Halloween!N.B. Reversing Climate Change is no longer a Nori podcast, but its own show.

The legend dates back to the Middle Ages. The earliest references describe a piper, dressed in multicoloured ("pied") clothing, who was a rat catcher hired by the town to lure rats away[1] with his magic pipe. When the citizens refused to pay for this service as promised, he retaliated by using his instrument's magical power on their children, leading them away as he had the rats. This version of the story spread as folklore and has appeared in the writings of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Brothers Grimm, and Robert Browning, among others. The phrase "pied piper" has become a metaphor for a person who attracts a following through charisma or false promises.[2]
In his first ever podcast interview, Francis Ford Coppola joins Ryan to talk about how Marcus Aurelius, Stoicism, and Epicureanism have impacted his life, both personally and professionally. Francis reflects on his legacy and why it was so important to complete his latest movie, Megalopolis (out September 27), after he began developing it in the early 1980's. Francis almost abandoned it multiple times and ultimately ended up self-financing the project. Megalopolis is a sci-fi drama Roman Epic fable based on Cicero and the Catiline Conspiracy set in an imagined Modern America that stars Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Grace VanderWaal, Nathalie Emmanuel, Chloe Fineman, Jon Voight, Shia LaBeouf, and more. As Francis says, “You can't go to New York without realizing it is covered with Roman buildings. So, my intent was to write a Roman epic set in a contemporary New York that copied Ancient Rome." Francis Ford Coppola is one of the greatest movie directors of all time. His movies include The Godfather, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, and his latest project, Megalopolis is in theaters on September 27, 2024! Check out the trailer for Megalopolis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq6mvHZU0fcFollow Francis on Instagram @francisfordcoppola and go see Megalopolis in theaters on September 27!
