Misconception Quotes - Page 7

• To kill the misconception, I don’t think the songs we wrote before ‘Danger Days’ are bad songs by any means. In fact, I kinda think some of them are among my favorites we have ever written. A lot of them are kinda f—ing rad… they just so happened to have been created in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and we as their parents were not ready to raise them just yet… and so they sat and waited.

• Honestly, I think the key () has been, treat every assignment as if it’s your first one, you know? I think there is a misconception, especially that students have and I really make a point when I speak at schools to talk about the fact that you never really arrive.

• The ruin of a man's teaching comes of his followers, such as having never touched the foundation he has laid, build upon it wood, hay, and stubble, fit only to be burnt. Therefore, if only to avoid his worst foes, his admirers, a man should avoid system. The more correct a system the worse will it be misunderstood; its professed admirers will take both its errors and their misconceptions of its truths, and hold them forth as its essence.

• Es vergonzoso que haya tan pocas mujeres en la ciencia. [...] En China hay muchísimas mujeres en la física. En Estados Unidos existe la idea errónea de que las mujeres científicas son todas solteronas. Eso es culpa de los hombres. En la sociedad china, a una mujer se la valora por lo que es, y los hombres la animan a conseguir logros, pero sigue siendo eternamente femenina.

• Los grupos se vuelven más extremistas y arraigados en sus creencias y se polarizan frente a los demás cuando sus miembros sólo intercambian información que refuerza sus puntos de vista y filtran todo lo demás o nunca conocen alternativas. Así reducen sus opciones y magnifican los prejuicios e ideas erróneas de los demás. Esta tendencia conduce a puntos ciegos en la toma de decisiones y a comportamientos extremos, incluso al terrorismo.

• Horror itself is a bit of a bullied genre, the antagonist being literary snobbery and public misconception. And I think good horror tackles our darkest fears, whatever they may be. It takes us into the minds of the victims, explores the threats, disseminates fear, studies how it changes us. It pulls back the curtain on the ugly underbelly of society, tears away the masks the monsters wear out in the world, shows us the potential truth of the human condition. Horror is truth, unflinching and honest. Not everybody wants to see that, but good horror ensures that it's there to be seen.

• Si puedo demostrar que una mujer puede correr 26 millas, y correrlas bien - zancada a zancada con los hombres - eso va a echar por tierra todos los demás prejuicios y todos los conceptos erróneos y todas las supuestas razones para mantener a las mujeres por debajo que han existido durante ¿cuántos siglos? Siglos de estas cosas. Así que me reí para mis adentros y pensé: "¡Oh, esto va a ser divertido! Voy a darle la vuelta a todo".

• Los pobres de todos los colores son cada vez más pobres y nuestras comunidades son cada vez más tóxicas. Existe la idea errónea de que para que nuestra economía crezca tendremos que seguir como hasta ahora, porque limpiar el medio ambiente y mitigar el cambio climático es demasiado costoso. Pues bien, yo digo que el negocio de la pobreza es una factura demasiado cara para que la humanidad siga pagándola.

• If people invited Muslims into their home every week by way of a TV show would go a long way to making people feel comfortable with Muslims and countering misconceptions about who we are. Plus, of course, that will make it easier for us to impose sharia law across America.

• Maybe the biggest misconception humanity has about itself is that by gaining more power over the world, over the environment, we will be able to make ourselves happier and more satisfied with life. Looking again from a perspective of thousands of years, we have gained enormous power over the world and it doesn't seem to make people significantly more satisfied than in the stone age.

• The single most damaging misconception about strategy is that it is a set of financial performance goals. The so-called "strategies" created by many managements are nothing more than three-to-five year financial performance forecasts. They are then labeled "strategy" and shipped off to the board of directors which goes through the motions of discussing how big the numbers are. Strategy is not your aspirations. Strategy is concerned with how you will arrange your actions and resources to punch through the challenges you face.

• The common misconception is that we create films for ourselves. And I really don't do it for myself. I get stopped in the street by people saying, "Do you mind if I say this about your work?" Do I mind? I'm delighted. I do it for you. It's not for me. It's my living, yes, sure.

• People believe that if a hijra curses you, bad things will happen. That God Ram blessed hijras with this power, that our blessings and curses will come true. People give us money because they are scared of our curse. Now that's the only way hijras can survive - by saying, "Give me money, otherwise I'll curse you." That clap, which scares people, has become our identity. In a way, you use myths and misconceptions for your own survival.

• When I stop doing the things that make me unhappy, I will experience the happiness that is that natural state of being. See, I don't think we were created with some pain and misery and whatever. I think we were created by whatever this thing is, when it extended itself, and, here we are. But I pile on so many misconceptions that I end up uncomfortable in my own skin.

• Often people say they can't base their strategies on customers because customers make unreasonable requests and because customers vary too much. Such opinions reveal serious misconceptions. The truly outside-in company definitely does not try to serve all the needs of its customers. Instead, its managers are clear about what their organization can and should do for customers, and whatever they do they do well. They focus.

• We have a mind, but we are the consciousness within the body and mind. I'm in my body but I am the eternal soul full of knowledge and bliss, unborn and undying. And the natural quality of the soul, uncovered from the ego and all our misconceptions, is unconditional love for the all-beautiful Lord.
