• One source of frustration in the workplace is the frequent mismatch between what people must do and what people can do. When what they must do exceeds their capabilities, the result is anxiety. When what they must do falls short of their capabilities, the result is boredom. But when the match is just right, the results can be glorious. This is the essence of flow.

  Daniel H. Pink

  Fall, Frustration, Essence

• En ningún otro ámbito de la política se da tal desajuste entre lo público y lo privado como en el del transporte. Todo el mundo en la M6 el pasado fin de semana habría estado de acuerdo con el odio a los coches del Ministro de Transportes Alasdair Darling. También ellos querían que los conductores abandonaran las carreteras y se subieran al transporte público. Adelante, señor Darling, gritaban al unísono, deshágase de todos esos coches. Excepto, por supuesto, los suyos. Los coches de los demás son tráfico. Mi coche es la esencia exterior de mi ser. Es mi sombrero, mi bastón y mi bastón. Encarna mi libertad como ciudadano y mi derecho como demócrata. Mi coche es mi alma en vuelo.

• ...¿cuánta desesperación innecesaria ha causado una serie de desajustes biológicos, un desajuste de las hormonas y las feromonas? El resultado es que la persona a la que amas apasionadamente no quiere o no puede amarte. Como especie, somos así de patéticos: imperfectamente monógamos.

• The world is a complex, interconnected, finite, ecological - social - psychological - economic system. We treat it as if it were not, as if it were divisible, separable, simple, and infinite. Our persistent, intractable global problems arise directly from this mismatch.

• What is true for the emotions may also be true for the intellect. Some of our perplexities may come from a mismatch between the purposes for which our cognitive faculties evolved and the purposes to which we put them today.

• There shouldn't be a death in the ring. There should never have been deaths in the ring, because people - deaths in the ring occur because they don't keep up with the records well enough. They are putting mismatches together. The people who are licensed to stop a fight, the referee and the corner, don't do it for fear that the audience is going to object to them stopping a fight.

• One of the most disturbing ways that climate change is already playing out is through what ecologists call "mismatch" or "mistiming." This is the process whereby warming causes animals to fall out of step with a critical food source, particularly at breeding times, when a failure to find enough food can lead to rapid population losses.

• God really does take our work seriously: It is wrong, it is a sin, to accept or remain in a position that you know is a mismatch for you. Perhaps that's a form of sin you've never considered - the sin of staying in the wrong job. But God did not place you on the earth to waste away your years in labor that does not employ his design or purpose for your life, no matter how much you may be getting paid for it.

  Arthur Miller

• There have been times in my adolescence where I gave up. I was like, 'I'm just never going to be pretty. I'm never going to be like one of those people on the front of magazines.' It always seemed really strange to me that the projection of how people are in advertisements looked nothing like the people who were actually buying them. You know what I mean? I never understood that mismatch, and now I really start to see that the people you see in the media are a lot more like people actually are.

• It's frustrating sometimes to see the mismatch in resources between the pointless and the urgent, isn't it. Like the gap between the vast resources poured into military technological research to make war more sophisticated, and the trickle that goes into developing techniques that might prevent war instead.

• Atraída por las promesas de un paraíso material de lujo sin límites, la humanidad ha ignorado durante demasiado tiempo el desajuste entre los imperativos de nuestra existencia como seres vivos en un planeta finito y los imperativos de las instituciones del dinero que trazan nuestro camino hacia el futuro. Creadas para construir imperios coloniales al servicio de los reyes, las corporaciones globales están mal preparadas para la tarea de construir sociedades civiles justas, sostenibles y compasivas que alimenten la suficiencia, la colaboración y el respeto por el conjunto de la vida.
