“Before I get to the point, let me say that I'm encouraged that Apple has managed its transition to Intel processors so rapidly. So far, the number of glitches with the new hardware appears to be small, fundamental compatibility is good, and the number of Universal applications continues to increase rapidly. Apple's own product guide lists over 1,000.”
“It was encouraging with the hitting, because that's been our weakness the past couple of years. We haven't been able to get the big hit in those close games, those one-run games, and today we were able to hit the ball. And it was spread out, too. It wasn't in just one area, it was 1-9, that was really good to see.”
“Our office worked hard with Federal Realty, encouraging them to first buy the center and then upgrade it. Since Federal Realty has taken ownership, the center has been totally rehabilitated, landscaping has been added, new quality anchor tenants have come, new buildings have been built, and finally the center is pedestrian friendly.”
“While we understand that what were dealing with is a long term condition that will have to be dealt with, monitored and treated for probably the rest of my life, we are terribly encouraged to have come so far, so fast, ...

“Home buyers must be absolutely sure they can afford the mortgage even if they lose the investment. You must ask: 'Can I afford this mortgage based on my salary or my income?'

“She's extremely important, because most often when it comes to wives, they, most of then have had great influence on their husbands, giving him the encouragement to withstand all of the strife and all of the dangers that he had to undergo. I think her being there beside him, gave him some of the strength that he needed in order to carry out the fight.”
“[Pearce] was intimidating as a player, but he's different as a manager. It's always encouragement that he shouts, which is a nice change from some of the old-school managers I have known. All you hear with them is, 'don't do this' and 'don't do that' but Stuart is totally different. He's more likely to say 'unlucky' than have a go at you.”
Reframing encourages you to say, ‘Let’s look at this another way.’ By changing the frame around a situation, you not only change your perception of it, but its meaning for you as well. If you were to take one painting and view it in three different frames, each combination would offer a completely different presentation. Your perceptions work the same way.
When you think no one sees you and you are so clouded in your messy state that you begin to think maybe just maybe even GOD is fed up. Know this: He sees the tears, collects them, pays you double for them, fortifies you with encouragement even through them and He will lift up your spirit.
“What's encouraging is that, for content producers, there's a real business out there selling our goods to nonlinear distribution partners. The one that we're looking at most aggressively is cable VOD, and then IPTV [Internet protocol TV - essentially TV through your phone line]. We have a whole list of other deals that are in the works to fill out the market across the world.”
