Demoralizing Quotes - Page 2

• La mayoría de los profesionales se especializan sólo en una parte del complejo proceso de revitalización comunitaria. Los esfuerzos incompletos suelen generar fracasos desordenados, caros y desmoralizadores. Pocos especialistas entienden cómo devolver la vida a un lugar con un enfoque holístico. Si alguien entiende el proceso completo de revitalización, ese es Storm Cunningham. Lleva más de una década estudiando rigurosamente los éxitos y fracasos en todo el mundo. Es capaz de observar el proceso de regeneración o reurbanización de una comunidad, región u organización y detectar rápidamente lo que falla... lo que falta.

• Man, anytime the ball goes through the basket. It doesn't matter if it's a jumper or a drive. Any time the ball goes through the basket, and it's going through consistently, it's demoralizing for any opponent.

• A new educational system in which all children born shall have the same advantage of physical, industrial, mental and moral culture, and thus be equally prepared at maturity to enter upon active, responsible and useful lives. . . . In so doing, it strikes a fatal blow at . . . the most demoralizing of all monopolies. . . educational superiority.

• In the modern Christian attempt to take a stand as Christ did, and maybe for others, win the approval of the world, the Christian will often think that it consists of targeting and demoralizing fellow Christians and only fellow Christians. It is one thing to stand against religious hypocrisy when one sees it, but it is another to go on snorting at anything or anyone who might seem 'too Christian' to us. The irony is that by doing this we are further advocating hypocrisy and 'half-hearted Christians'.

• Startups are painful, stressful and at times demoralizing. You need to be a true believer in the vision of what you are doing. You need to passionate about it and love what you’re doing. If you don’t, there is no way you can sustain the hours, stress and disappointment. There’s no way you’re going to be able to convince investors, customers and most importantly recruit a world-class team if you not building something you think is going to change the world.

• To give up power to change for the better is inherently distasteful to everyone, and to force people to affirm that they are addicts or alcoholics so they can speak in a meeting is shameful and demoralizing.

• La democracia estadounidense es un juego de ajedrez en el que los peones se imaginan que son individuos libres con voluntad propia: esa ilusión es una de las reglas del juego, sin la cual la partida no podría continuar. Dudo que alguien, por muy agudo y perspicaz que sea, consiga transmitir a los estudiantes de secundaria lo vital que es una mente aguda para mantener el control sobre la propia vida y los propios ingresos en nuestra política y economía mendaces. No es de extrañar que nuestro sistema escolar se dedique con devoción a desmoralizar y embotar esas mentes.

• I had been a veteran of pretty challenging job searches, so I knew firsthand how frustrating, confusing, and demoralizing the job search process can be. Even after you get a job, many people join companies and discover in the first couple weeks that they aren't a good match with the personality and values of the company.

• Insisting that we must tax and take and demonize those who have already achieved the American Dream. That may turn out to be a good re-election strategy for President Obama, but is a demoralizing message for America.

• I always tell my students to write the story all the way through, not to play with the language and fall in love with sentences that you then have to cut. I actually find that really difficult to do; there's something so demoralizing about looking at a pile of not very great sentences. As I ease into writing every morning, I tweak a sentence and then tweak a paragraph.

• Lamento tener que introducir el tema de la Navidad. Es un tema indecente; un tema cruel y glotón; un tema borracho y desordenado; un tema derrochador y desastroso; un tema malvado, caduco, mentiroso, sucio, blasfemo y desmoralizador. Los comerciantes y la prensa imponen la Navidad a una nación renuente y asqueada: por sus propios méritos se marchitaría y se marchitaría en el aliento ardiente del odio universal; y cualquiera que volviera la vista hacia ella se convertiría en una columna de salchichas grasientas.

• "¿Por qué en un establecimiento de solteros los criados se beben invariablemente el champán? Sólo pido información". "Lo atribuyo a la calidad superior del vino, señor. A menudo he observado que en los hogares de casados el champán rara vez es de primera calidad." "¡Santo cielo! ¿Es el matrimonio tan desmoralizador como eso?" "Creo que es un estado muy agradable, señor. Yo mismo he tenido muy poca experiencia hasta ahora. Sólo me he casado una vez. Fue como consecuencia de un malentendido entre un joven y yo".

• Pero el verdadero mal de la bebida reside en la desilusión: que el placer inicial se evapora muy pronto, dejando un desmoralizador ansia de más, que ni siquiera es temporalmente placentero. Lo que conduce al deterioro de las facultades tanto del cuerpo como de la mente, además de una desconcertante falta de cooperación entre ambos.

• I remember when I was a child, being taken to the celebrated Barnum's Circus, which contained an exhibition of freaks and monstrosities, but the exhibit on the program which I most desired to see was the one described as ‘The Boneless Wonder’. My parents judged that the spectacle would be too demoralizing and revolting for my youthful eye and I have waited fifty years, to see The Boneless Wonder sitting on the Treasury Bench.

• He aprendido que en las almas de todos los hombres yace latente una afición por algún instrumento musical en particular y un anhelo insospechado de tocarlo, que están destinados a despertar y exigir atención algún día. Por lo tanto, los que os quejáis de los que perturban vuestro sueño con intentos infructuosos y desmoralizadores de subyugar a una guitarra, ¡tened cuidado! Tarde o temprano os llegará la hora.

• The element of discovery is very important. I don't repeat myself well. I want and need that stimulus of walking forward from one new world to another. There is something demoralizing about going back to a place to retake pictures. You can no longer see your subjects in a fresh eye; you keep comparing them with the pictures you hold in your memory. [The] world was full of discoveries waiting to be made...(as a photographer) I could share the things I saw and learned...you would react to something all others might walk by.

• I realize now that there's a strength in dunking that I can use to my advantage. When you dunk all the time it isn't as demoralizing to the opponent, but when you dunk at a key moment in the game you can use it to change the momentum.

• Some things I won't do for any amount of money. That's so demoralizing and goes against every principle that I hold. It's like, okay, some rich people can buy me because I'm a talented guy. They can buy talent. You can't buy it for yourself, but you can buy other people's talent to serve your purposes. And once an artist does that, he becomes like a plaything of the rich. You know, some of these wealthy collectors have paid lots of money for artwork that I already did, but I didn't do it with the intention of catering to them.
