“He was there when there was nothing — no land, no money. He gave us a lot of insight on the construction end of things, and his family is donating the food and clothing center. He's got a strong Christian character and business ethic, and he understands the need. He understands that this is more than a children's home; it is first and foremost a ministry. He has a great love for children.”

“I'm going to be practicing my Chinese before I go. Probably just in basic conversation around the house. I hope to gain useful insight that I can bring back to my peers and community. I want to be able to share my knowledge about China with the students in my school and tell them about everything I learned.”

Books and drafts mean something quite different for different thinkers. One collects in a book the lights he was able to steal and carry home swiftly out of the rays of some insight that suddenly dawned on him, while another thinker offers us nothing but shadows - images in black and grey of what had built up in his soul the day before.

Your life is your practice. Your spiritual practice does not occur someplace other than in your life right now, and your life is nowhere other than where you are. You are looking for answers, insight, and wisdom that you already possess. Live the life in front of you, be the life you are, and see what you find out for yourself.

“I try to lead by example. I play my butt off every game. If I see someone having trouble doing that, I'll say something. I do some teaching with the younger guys. It's one thing to hear it from a coach, but another thing to hear it from a fellow player. It gives guys a little different insight.”

Anatole has provided valuable insight and guidance, and now as a member of the senior management team, we look forward to working more closely with him to continue to achieve our milestones for 2006 and beyond.”

If the Internet were everything it is cracked up to be, we would all stay at home and be brilliantly witty and insightful. Yet with so much contradictory information available, there is more reason to travel than ever before: to look closer, to dig deeper, to sort the authentic from the fake; to verify, to smell, to touch, to taste, to hear and sometimes - importantly - to suffer the effects of this curiosity.

A marijuana high can enhance core human mental abilities. It can help you to focus, to remember, to see new patterns, to imagine, to be creative, to introspect, to empathically understand others, and to come to deep insights. If you don’t find this amazing you have lost your sense of wonder. Which, by the way, is something a high can bring back, too.

Your brand exists to differentiate. “Same crap, different day” won’t do it. A day that goes by without breaking some sacred branding rule is a day a brand has lost to rise above the status quo. By breaking those rules with insight, intelligent and innovation, your brand can get heard in a world that’s simply too busy to listen.

Our ignorance can be divided into problems and mysteries. When we face a problem, we may not know its solution, but we have insight, increasing knowledge, and an inkling of what we are looking for. When we face a mystery, however, we can only stare in wonder and bewilderment, not knowing what an explanation would even look like.
