Correcting Quotes - Page 2

• Vive y actúa dentro del límite de tu conocimiento y sigue ampliándolo hasta el límite de tu vida. Redime tu mente de los corralitos de la autoridad. Acepta el hecho de que no eres omnisciente, pero hacerte el zombi no te dará la omnisciencia; que tu mente es falible, pero volverte descerebrado no te hará infalible; que un error cometido por ti mismo es más seguro que diez verdades aceptadas por fe, porque el primero te deja los medios para corregirlo, pero el segundo destruye tu capacidad para distinguir la verdad del error.

• Chance is commonly viewed as a self-correcting process in which a deviation in one direction induces a deviation in the opposite direction to restore the equilibrium. In fact, deviations are not "corrected" as a chance process unfolds, they are merely diluted.

• [La ciencia no es perfecta. Puede utilizarse mal. No es más que una herramienta. Pero es con mucho la mejor herramienta que tenemos, autocorrectiva, continua, aplicable a todo. Tiene dos reglas. Primera: no hay verdades sagradas; todos los supuestos deben ser examinados críticamente; los argumentos de autoridad carecen de valor. Segunda: todo lo que no sea coherente con los hechos debe descartarse o revisarse. ... Lo obvio es a veces falso; lo inesperado es a veces cierto.

• I am sincerely trying now to create a dance technique based entirely upon corrective exercises, created with a knowledge of human anatomy; a technique which will correct physical faults and prepare a dancer for any type of dancing he may wish to follow; a technique having all the basic movements which govern the actions of the body; combined with a knowledge of the origin of movement and a sense of artistic design.

• El éxito no suele ir a parar a la persona que no comete errores, porque también tiende a tener aversión al riesgo. Más bien va a parar a la persona que reconoce que la vida es un asunto de porcentajes. Lo importante no es cometer errores, sino corregirlos y seguir adelante con la tarea principal.

• Cuando se puede hacer llorar a un niño, no por miedo al castigo, sino por arrepentimiento de su ofensa, no necesita castigo. Cuando las lágrimas comienzan a fluir por el dolor de la propia conducta, ten por seguro que hay un ángel anidando en el pecho.

• I was letting go and undoing the hell I had created. By squaring all with love, trying to love rather than trying to be loved, and by taking responsibility for all that was happening to me; finding my subconscious thought and correcting it, I became freer and freer, happier and happier.

• Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it

• El rifle en sí no tiene estatura moral, ya que no tiene voluntad propia. Naturalmente, puede ser utilizado por hombres malvados para fines malvados, pero hay más hombres buenos que malos, y aunque estos últimos no pueden ser persuadidos al camino de la rectitud por la propaganda, ciertamente pueden ser corregidos por hombres buenos con rifles.

• If those persons, who fancy themselves gifted with both the power and the right to define and punish other men's vices, would but turn their thoughts inwardly, they would probably find that they have a great work to do at home; and that, when that shall have been completed, they will be little disposed to do more towards correcting the vices of others, than simply to give to others the results of their experience and observation.

• La mayoría de las personas definen el aprendizaje de forma demasiado restrictiva como mera "resolución de problemas", por lo que se centran en identificar y corregir errores del entorno externo. Resolver problemas es importante. Pero para que el aprendizaje persista, los directivos y empleados deben mirar también hacia dentro. Deben reflexionar críticamente sobre su propio comportamiento, identificar las formas en que a menudo contribuyen inadvertidamente a los problemas de la organización y, a continuación, cambiar su forma de actuar.

• You can often help others more by correcting your own faults than theirs. Remember, and you should, because of your own experience, that allowing God to correct your faults is not easy. Be patient with people, wait for God to work with them as He wills.
