“My Museum creates an exciting new space that encourages children to celebrate their differences. This exhibit will build on the goals of a previous exhibit, Face to Face, that occupied the Lehman Gallery. It will be a place where respect for diversity is experienced firsthand, modeled and taught in order to combat prejudice through critical thinking, empathy development and positive self-esteem.”
“We felt that the turnout was a huge success. It's really encouraging to see that so many people at Trinity are excited about becoming involved in this event. So far, many people have expressed interest and are forming teams. Students are starting to recognize that this is a great opportunity for all aspects of Trinity to come together in one night.”
“They have a tried-and-tested formula and it brings results. They build their wins through taking chances as they arise and wearing down the sides they play. It's not flashy. Every team that plays them is tested so it is going to be a big examination for our youngsters. But we will take encouragement from the fact that we won there two seasons ago.”
“I know that it's in them. We saw today what we've been expecting. But it's, when is it going to come consistently? They're the ones that are going to have to answer that. You gain confidence through success and this has to be something to motivate them and encourage them. You've got to understand how you won games.”
...it’s just another one of those things I don’t understand: everyone impresses upon you how unique you are, encouraging you to cultivate your individuality while at the same time trying to squish you and everyone else into the same ridiculous mould.

Christian productivity is unique. Most productivity gurus will encourage you to be as selfish as you need to be, to get rid of anything that doesn’t interest or excite you.

In our worldly perceptions of Jesus, we tend to embrace the kindness of his love ('be encouraged') but not the discipline of his love ('and sin no more'). But with the whole scope of his love, or maturity in Christ, we begin relying on him for guidance where we would prefer him to walk beside us rather than behind us.
It is not seen as insane when a fighter, under an attack that will inevitable lead to his death, chooses to take his own life first. In fact, this act has been encouraged for centuries, and is accepted even now as an honorable reason to do the deed. How is it any different when you are under attack by your own mind?
“I have worked three major earthquakes in my career ... I've always encouraged people to have at least five days of water, food -- canned goods, or food you can add water to (oatmeal, soups, dehydrated foods), flashlights, a battery operated radio, camping gear, a propane portable stove and medication.”
“If the rate expectations continue to come down, Hong Kong, as an interest rate sensitive market will likely benefit. Moreover, if the interest rate expectations drop, the U.S, growth expectations will also taper off. This will also encourage money to flow from the growth sensitive markets, notably Korea and Taiwan. Hong Kong will be an idea destination.”
