“The fact that every borehole in the first phase of drilling has intersected copper mineralization is highly encouraging. Given the success of our first drill-tests, it is clear that all of the fundamentals are in place to form a significant IOCG deposit in this exciting new district. Our biggest challenge is that the alteration systems are very large and will require persistence to determine their nature and extent. To be honest, it's a nice problem to have and we are very pleased with the progress to date.”
“The only thing we're really encouraging municipal fleet managers to do is to start writing into their contracts increases to cover the higher costs of the emission control technology for 2007. The general comment I get from fleet managers after I give my overview is, 'Wow, these changes aren't producing the horror show I expected.' Once you get a good look at the 2007 changes, it should relieve a lot of the concern.”
“We're paying $44.95 for the exact same package, and it's pretty obvious that Vermillion costumers are subsidizing Yankton. As a council, I wish we could look at anything possible to correct that situation, even if we have to encourage people going on satellite. Also, in four years, I know it's over a 30 percent increase. How can you justify a 30 percent increase in Vermillion rates in four years?”
“During my opening remarks, I explicitly encouraged attendees to take a shot at hacking the wireless network. Given the level and concentration of hacker talent at these events, I was more than pleasantly surprised they did not succeed. In fact, this is the first year the wireless network has managed to stay up without interruption for more than four hours. That is a true testament to the intrusion protection and advanced security functionality of Aruba's wireless solution.”
“Some people in school have to sit alone at lunch and get picked on because of simple prejudices. And a lot of New Orleans students were not well received. Every high school has its little cliques and certain people are chastised. It's similar to the Jewish Holocaust. People are picked on whether they're Hindu or Arab. Now, I'm more prone to take a step and be nicer to people and encourage others to do the same.”
“A number of companies and esteemed individuals have stepped up to sponsor and mentor our student teams from the FIRST kick off on January 7 until now. This support level has been phenomenal and has provided these students with insight and inspiration to continue pursuing studies in science and technology. This support combined with the public's interest will make the Boston Regional a success and encourage other students to create their own teams for next year.”
“Being named by process control professionals in such overwhelming numbers in an unaided survey is a gratifying affirmation of our open, standards-based technologies, and our commitment to customer service. Our goal is to give our users an edge through combined technology and services, and the annual Reader's Choice results are an important scorecard of progress. This encourages us to make even more investments to help our users achieve better business results.”
When unconscious storytelling becomes out default, we often keep tripping over the same issue, staying down when we fall, and having different versions of the same problem in our relationships--we've got the story on repeat. Burton explains that our brains like predictable storytelling. He writes, "In effect, well-oiled patterns of observation encourage our brains to compose a story that we expect to hear.
Tom." Mrs. Sprye's tone was severe. "I expect you to look after this boy, not encourage him to go about brawling in the street. In broad daylight!"Tom was stung. "It's nigh impossible to brawl in the dark, Mrs. Sprye. And look—" He put his hands on Trumpet's shoulders and turned him full circle. "Scarcely a scratch on him. A bit dirty, true, but I believe that Pygmies can be washed.
Reasoning does create a paradox: it leads both to more rule following and more rebelliousness. By explaining moral principles, parents encourage their children to comply voluntarily with rules that align with important values and to question rules that don’t. Good explanations enable children to develop a code of ethics that often coincides with societal expectations; when they don’t square up, children rely on the internal compass of values rather than the external compass of rules.
