Starting points do not determine your end point Our destiny is determined by our actions, not by our origins.

Opportunities will always be unequal, but the results prove otherwise.

The privileged but powerless people are a waste, while the educated but unaffected people are a pile of worthless garbage.

Luck depends on planning. Everyone is a designer and architect of his own destiny. I do not live by God-given luck, but I do-so by planning luck.

Do it now. Opportunity comes from opportunity.

if you do not take action, even the world most practical, beautiful, and viable philosophy will not work.

You must stop daydreaming, and to always think of the present and start doing it now. Sentences such as "tomorrow", "next week", and "future" have the same meaning as "can never be done".

Be determined to compete. I do not go into war, but I destroy competitors. Even if we lose, the only thing we should do is to lose gloriously.

Mortgage for the Future. Borrowing money is to create good luck.

The most horrifying thing is Spiritual Bankruptcy. Failure is a good thing as long as it does not become a habit.

Only giving up will result in failure. There is nothing in the world that can replace perseverance. Unless you give up, you will not be beaten.

Too many people overestimate what they lack, but underestimate what they have. (Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.)

Today, the United States cherish a peculiar feeling of gratitude to commemorate the great and rare soul - the former president, Mr. Abraham Lincoln, who is worthy of God and mankind. I believe Lincoln deserves it. In my real memory, no one is greater than Lincoln. He has woven a successful and moving history of the United States. With his indomitable spirit, courage, and generosity, he liberated four million of the humblest black slaves and crushed 27 million locks that have been placed on the soul of people of colour. This put an end to the sinful history of depraved, twisted, and narrow souls due to racial hatred. He avoided the disaster of the country's destruction and combined all different languages, religions, skin colours, and races into a brand-new country.

Hell is full of good people. Arrogance usually leads to downfall. I do not like money, what I like is making money.

Donating money is a wrong kind of help. It will make a person lose the motivation to be thrifty and diligent, and become lazy, unpredictable, and unaccountable. More importantly, when you give alms to a person, you deny his dignity, and if you deny his dignity, you take away his destiny, which is extremely immoral in my opinion. As a rich man, I have the responsibility to be a messenger for the benefit of mankind, but I cannot be the initiator of making lazy people.

Give a pig a good compliment, and it can climb up the tree.

Every opportunity that we don't understand will become a turning point in our lives.

If you are not a winner, you are defying yourself.

Diligence brings Nobility.

Do not make excuses. Excuses are the source of failure. The more successful a person is, the less he will make excuses. Ninety-nine percent of failures are because people are used to making excuses.

Occasionally, I have seen someone stand up and say: "I succeeded by my own efforts." So far, I have not seen any man or woman, dare to stand up and say: "I am the one who made myself fail." The losers have a set of excuses for themselves.

Why do so many talented individual fail? Here is the reason. If an extremely smart person is always using their amazing intellect to prove why things cannot succeed, instead of guiding their minds to find various ways to succeed, the fate of failure will find them.

The seeds of success is in your hands I am my biggest capital. My only belief is to believe in myself!

Your diamond is not between the distant mountains and the sea, if you are determined to dig, the diamond is in your backyard.

A person without ambition will not accomplish great things.

Wealth is proportional to goals. If you have big ambitions and big goals, your mountain of wealth will rise to the sky. If you just want to pass by, then you will end up in the rat race, or even nothing, even if the wealth is close to you, you will only get a little bit of it.

Take risks to make use of opportunities The higher the risk, the greater the return. The more things you have, the greater your power.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

A life motto of a gambler: Only by curiosity can you discover opportunities, and by taking risks can you make use of them.

Good gamblers will become good businessmen.

There must be a spirit of cooperation. Treat others the way you wish to be treated. A friendship built on business is far better than a business built on friendship.

Success is not measured by a person's height, weight, education, or family background, but by the size of his thoughts. The size of our thoughts determines the size of our achievements.

Have every penny brings you benefits. Make every penny's worth.

Do not take the first step without thinking about the last step.

Patience is the strategy. Impulse is always our worst enemy. Only when you can endure what people cannot, can you then do what people cannot do.

The God of Luck favours the Brave.

Attitude helps create luck, and luck is in your choice. If you do it right 51% of the time, then you will become a hero.

The best way to find the best idea is to have lots of ideas.

He is a traditional thinker, and his mind is numb. His reason is: This has been practiced for a hundred years, so it must be a good way. It must be kept as it is, so why risk it. Change? In fact, it can often be achieved only through thinking about the reasons diligently. "Ordinary people" always hate progress.

Do not let the villain hold you back. A wise man will never sit down and mourn over fate. Those who say you cannot do it are those who cannot succeed.

If you are unable to actively establish your own goals, you will passively or unconsciously choose other goals. As a result, you may lose control of the overall situation. At the same time, you will be subjected to people or events that might distract you or disturb you.

The road to hell is paved with kindness.

Avoid Blaming and giving excuses. Blaming is the number one enemy in destroying a leadership.

Do what you like to do, and leave other things to the people who like to do it.

The most perfect person is the one who thoroughly devotes himself to the activity he is best at.

The best way to find the perfect idea, is to have many ideas.

Wealth is a form of responsibility The greater the wealth, means the greater the responsibility.

There is a holy saying in the Gospel of Matthew: "You are the salt of the world."

A person is great not because he has a certain official title. The reason why he is great is that he used a few tools to create a greater cause and accomplish his life goal as an unknown civilian.

Unlike many religions, Judaism is more than simply a belief system that anyone can adopt. To become Jewish means enlisting in the tribe. The relationship or covenant is between God and the Jewish people, rather than between God and individual Jews.

Where there is no flour, there is no Bible. Hasidic folk saying Poverty in a man's house is worse than fifty plagues. -The Mishna (a collection of books that outline the detailed laws for daily Jewish living) Poverty causes transgression. -The Talmud (a collection of books of rabbinical commentary on the Old Testament)

The modern history of the Jews began in 70 A.D. when the Romans completed their conquest of Jerusalem, destroyed the temple and forced a great migration of Jews out of the Holy Land, the so-called Diaspora. The Romans renamed their new conquest Palestine. By the time the State of Israel was reestablished nearly two thousand years later in 1948, the descendants of the exiled Jews had spread throughout the world. During the rise of the Roman Empire, Christians and Jews were two of many religious and ethnic groups living within the empire's boundaries. But Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and decreed in about 300 A.D. that Christianity would be the official religion of the Holy Roman Empire, which covered most of the Western world. Romans compelled all non-Christian groups to convert or die. The Jews resisted and stubbornly maintained their religion, clothing, diet, customs and language, wherever they settled in the world. Consequently, Jews naturally lived in their own distinct communities, and their isolation bred mistrust and suspicion. In times of strife, it was easy for the general population, incited by those in power, to blame Jews for problems ranging from poisoned wells to diseases to economic disasters. Throughout the Middle Ages and on into the fifteenth century, large Jewish communities emerged in Spain, Italy, Germany, France and Eastern Europe, especially Poland and Russia. Governments throughout Europe barred Jews from owning land, so few were farmers.They gravitated to commercial and industrial occupations with trade skills. At the fringe of society and business, Jews were storekeepers, peddlers, artisans, bakers, tailors, small-factory owners and middleman merchants. I)r. Sowell's research found that the historical prejudice against Jewish businessmen has also been experienced by other successful trading groups: "Where middlemen are an ethnically distinct group-the Chinese in Southeast Asia, the east Indians in Uganda, and the Ibos in Nigeria-that ethnic group is hated by the masses who deal with Jews often lived in officially mandated areas that were protected by nobility, kings or Popes for their own gain. Government officials benefited from these communities by levying upon Jews a barrage of special taxes that Jews paid not as citizens, but as Jews: a tax on the right to travel, to pray with others, to marry, to have children, to bury a corpse in the cemetery. In addition, the nobility benefited from the Jews' wealth, commercial skills, international contacts and other technical knowledge.The Biblical injunction against money lending pushed the Jews further away from the mainstream, when they filled the vacuum for this essential service for commerce.

Make your children truly feel a part of a "chosen people," no matter their heritage.

A parent must begin to provide long-term rewards for positive behaviors at an early age. Rewards can be offered to young children for doing simple household chores, and these can be followed later on by more substantial rewards for good grades.

It is written in the Talmud: "You're only as wealthy as the amount you are able to give."

The word for charity in Hebrew is tzedakah, from the root word zedek meaning "justice" or "righteousness". The word "charity" comes from the Latin word caritas, meaning "love"

In 1543 Luther wrote, "What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews? ... Since they live among us and we know about their lying and blasphemy and cursing, we cannot tolerate them....

• First, their synagogues should be set on fire....
• Secondly, their homes should likewise be broken down and destroyed ....
• Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks....
• Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threat of death to teach anymore.."

Garvey was very close to the essence of The Jewish Phenomenon when he said, "Wealth is strength, wealth is power, wealth is influence, wealth is justice, is liberty, is real human rights.""

To quote the Jewish proverb, "He who pays has the say."

There were three waves of Jewish immigration before World War II: Spanish Jews before 1700, early German immigrants from 1700 to 1880, and the massive Eastern European migrations from 1881 to 1910.

Max Levchin, who immigrated to America as a teenager from Ukraine, had the idea for a better system for online payments called PayPal in 1997. That company he cofounded was sold to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion.

To succeed in business or just about any other pursuit, you've got to have chutzpah. Jews do. They even invented the word. Chutzpah-call it "verbal self-confidence" if you like-is the ability to speak up, say your piece, ask questions, make demands. Chutzpah is a Yiddish word that comes from the Hebrew word meaning "audacity."

Spare me from Gentile hands and Jewish tongues, ran a nineteenth-century Yiddish proverb in Eastern Europe.

This study involves individual readings and then group discussions about the stories and the laws. It isn't about memorization and recitation; the discussions are critical reviews, with intensive questioning and debate. Even questions that might be considered heretical are dealt with analytically.

Stay Married if You Can; Divorce Is Very Expensive

As a boy, Abraham once waited on an elderly customer who wanted the perfect idol. Abraham asked the man how old he was, and he answered he was seventy. "What a fool you must be," said Abraham. "How can you worship an idol that is so much younger than you are? This idol was made only yesterday!"

When the idols did not partake of the food, Abraham observed: "They have mouths but they do not speak. They have ears but do not hear. They have noses but do not smell. They have hands but do not handle. They have feet but they do not walk."

Abraham answered, "Since the beginning of time, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Tomorrow, if it pleases His Majesty, command the sun to rise in the west and set in the east; then I will declare publicly that His Majesty is the Lord of the universe."' Ever since, Jews have questioned authority.

The Bible says that the Jews are the chosen people. "I chose you not because you are more numerous or powerful, and not because you are morally, spiritually or intellectually superior. You are not. I chose you out of my unknowable will" (Deuteronomy 7:7).

Fein goes on to say, "There is God, and then there's the people, no intermediaries getting in the way. "The rabbi is supposed to be a very learned man of the Torah and to offer guidance and wisdom, but he does not have a special divine power.

In the first, he worked out an equation that provided direct evidence that molecules exist.

In the second, Einstein posited a theory that light was really a stream of "quanta", later called photons. When light hits a metal, these "quanta" force atones to release electrons; this is called the "photoelectric effect"

In the next one, he postulated that if you traveled at the speed of light, your velocity is "relative" to the observer; there is no absolute space or time.

In his fourth paper published that same year, Einstein proclaimed what became his most famous idea: the theory of relativity. He stated that mass and energy were different forms of the same thing. The energy of a quantity of matter equals the mass of that matter times the square of the velocity of light: E In 1916 he extended his own theory, proposing "that space was curved in the presence of mass and that gravitation is not a force but merely the result of moving objects following the shortest possible path in curved space" On May 20, 1919, during a total solar eclipse, Einstein proved his theory by correctly calculating that light bends. He measured the actual bending of a beam of light passing through the gravitational field of our sun at 1.75 seconds of an arc, a figure that matched his predicted calculation. The universe was orderly.

At the time, he said, "Today in Germany I am hailed as a German man of science, and in England I am pleasantly represented as a foreign Jew. But if ever my theories are repudiated, the Germans will condemn me as a foreign Jew and the English will dismiss me as a German." He was right. The Nazis eventually outlawed his theories. They forced him to leave the country, took his possessions and confiscated his books. He moved to the U.S. in 1933 and continued his work at Princeton. In 1939 Einstein wrote to President Franklin Roosevelt encouraging him to launch an atomic bomb project because the Germans had already begun one of their own.

Blau identified seven general rules of parenting followed by first- and second-generation Jewish-American mothers. The research for this book confirms that these themes have been passed on to subsequent generations.

• Refrain from corporal punishment; control in nonpunitive ways.
• Allow complete freedom of expression in the home.
• Provide children the best of everything, whenever possible.
• Nurture the strong ego and self-esteem of the child.
• Reduce the impact of peer pressure by maintaining close family relationships and delaying independence from the home.
• Set high standards for educational and professional advancement. As a community, reinforce those high standards.

Jews have been their own very best customers.

In the conservative air of the late 1950s, the Handlers developed the marketing pitch that Barbie would prepare little girls to become proper young ladies by teaching them how to dress and apply makeup. Otherwise, Barbie would have been viewed as risque. Barbie, named for Ruth's daughter, was later joined by her friend Ken, named after Ruth's son. Barbie was born and so was Mattel.

Many people use "killer phrases" to stop new ideas in their tracks:

"When a major medical advance in medicine occurs, it takes about ten years to change the way doctors practice."

A good creative exercise is to think in opposites. If you want to improve something, think about what you would do to really mess things up. It may lead to a new perspective that can be productive!

JEWS BELIEVE THEY CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINIES

Jews think people can significantly change the outcomes of their lives through their own actions.

The seven "secrets" are very straightforward.

• Get a good education.
• Support your community.
• Be a professional or entrepreneur.
• Speak up.
• Be creative.
• Save your money and selectively enjoy it.
• And above all, be driven to be your own person.

Ninety-five percent of the trading errors you are likely to make -causing the money to just evaporate before your eyes- will stem from your attitudes about being wrong, losing money, missing out, and leaving money on the table. What I call the four primary trading fears.

A very loose rule of thumb is: Whatever we believe we were deprived of as children can easily become addictions in adulthood.

Many people are born to immature and unreasonable parents, or encounter emotionally disturbed teachers, coaches, and employees who subconsciously or intentionally inflict their personal problems on anyone they perceive as having less power.

Remember our definition of a winning attitude: a positive expectation of your efforts with an acceptance that whatever results you get are a perfect reflection of your level of development and what you need to learn to do better.

Did you ever wonder why leaving money on the table is often more painful than taking a loss? When we lose, there are any number of ways in which we can shift the blame to the market and not accept responsibility. But when we leave money on the table, we can't blame the market. The market didn't do anything but give us exactly what we wanted, but for whatever reason, we weren't capable of acting on the opportunity appropriately. In other words, there's no way to rationalize the pain away.

In many respects, a state of mind or perspective is like software code. You could have several thousand lines of perfectly written code, with only one flawed line, and in that one flawed line there might be only one character out of place. Depending on the purpose of the software and where that flaw is in relation to everything else, that one misplaced character could ruin the performance of an otherwise perfectly written system. You see, the solution was simple: Fix the misplaced character, and everything runs smoothly. However, finding the error or even knowing it exists in the first place can take considerable expertise.

Everyone has heard the expression, "People see what they want to see." I would put it a little differently: People see what they've learned to see, and everything else is invisible

As they sat there, the bean market was slowly trending down to the price the analyst said would be the support, or low, of the day. When it finally got there, the chairman looked over to the analyst and said, "This is where the market is supposed to stop and go higher, right?" The analyst responded, "Absolutely! This is the low of the day." "That's bullshit!" the chairman retorted. "Watch this." He picked up the phone, called one of the clerks handling orders for the soybean pit, and said, "Sell two million beans (bushels) at the market." Within thirty seconds after he placed the order, the soybean market dropped ten cents a bushel. The chairman turned to look at the horrified expression on the analyst's face. Calmly, he asked, "Now, where did you say the market was going to stop? If I can do that, anyone can."

A probabilistic mind-set pertaining to trading consists of five fundamental truths.

1. Anything can happen.
2. You don't need to know what is going to happen next in order to make money.
3. There is a random distribution between wins and losses for any given set of variables that define an edge.
4. An edge is nothing more than an indication of a higher probability of one thing happening over another.
5. Every moment in the market is unique.

According to Albert Einstein and others in the scientific community, energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed.

My motto is "my principal activity is to tease those who take themselves and the quality of their knowledge too seriously."

It was hard to explain that the idea here was that "it is more random than we think" rather than "it is all random."

Just as one day some primitive tribesman scratched his nose, saw rain falling, and developed an elaborate method of scratching his nose to bring on the much-needed rain.

Bad information is worse than no information at all.

Nero's objective is not to maximize his profits, so much as it is to avoid having this entertaining machine called trading taken away from him.

Every time his risks increase, he conjures up the image of the quiet hallway at the university, the long mornings at his desk spent in revising a paper, kept awake by bad coffee.

Future causes the markets to shut down.

There are three premises on which the technical approach is based:

• Market action discounts everything.

• Prices move in trends.

• History repeats itself.

As a rule, chartists do not concern themselves with the reasons why prices rise or fall.

Market price tends to lead the known fundamentals. Stated another way, market price acts as a leading indicator of the fundamentals

TECHNICAL CHECKLIST

• What is the direction of the overall market?

• What is the direction of the various market sectors?

• What are the weekly and monthly charts showing?

• Are the major, intermediate, and minor trends up, down, or sideways?

• Where are the important support and resistance levels?

• Where are the important trendlines or channels?

• Are volume and open interest confirming the price action?

• Where are the 33%, 50%, and 66% retracements?

• Are there any price gaps and what type are they?

• Are there any major reversal patterns visible?

• Are there any continuation patterns visible?

• What are the price objectives from those patterns?

• Which way are the moving averages pointing?

• Are the oscillators overbought or oversold?

• Are there any cycle tops or bottoms due?

• Is the market showing right or left translation?

• Which way is the computer trend moving: up, down, or sideways?

• What are the point and figure charts or candlesticks showing?

After you've arrived at a bullish or bearish conclusion, ask yourself the following questions

• Which way will this market trend over the next several months?

• Am I going to buy or sell this market?

• How many units will I trade?

• How much am I prepared to risk if I'm wrong?

• What is my profit objective?

• Where will I enter the market?

• What type of order will I use?

• Where will I place my protective stop?

One of the reasons the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class struggles in debt is that the subject of money is taught at home, not in school.

Our staggering national debt is due in large part to highly educated politicians and government officials making financial decisions with little or no training in the subject of money.

One dad had a habit of saying, "I can’t afford it." The other dad forbade those words to be used. He insisted I ask, "How can I afford it?"

"My brain gets stronger every day because I exercise it. The stronger it gets, the more money I can make."

People really do shape their lives through their thoughts.

There is a difference between being poor and being broke. Broke is temporary. Poor is eternal.

The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.

"The avoidance of money is just as psychotic as being attached to money."

So many people say, "Oh, I’m not interested in money." Yet they’ll work at a job for eight hours a day.

A doctor, wanting more money to better provide for his family, raises his fees. By raising his fees, it makes health care more expensive for everyone. It hurts the poor people the most, so they have worse health than those with money. Because the doctors raise their fees, the attorneys raise their fees. Because the attorneys' fees have gone up, schoolteachers want a raise, which raises our taxes, and on and on and on. Soon there will be such a horrifying gap between the rich and the poor that chaos will break out and another great civilization will collapse. History proves that great civilizations collapse when the gap between the haves and have-nots is too great.

In life, it’s not how much money you make. It’s how much money you keep.

Rich people acquire assets. The poor and middle class acquire liabilities that they think are assets.

An asset puts money in my pocket. A liability takes money out of my pocket.

"A fool and his money is one big party."

"If you find you have dug yourself into a hole… stop digging."

The Japanese were aware of three powers: the power of the sword, the jewel, and the mirror. The sword symbolizes the power of weapons. America has spent trillions of dollars on weapons and, because of this, is a powerful military presence in the world. The jewel symbolizes the power of money. There is some degree of truth to the saying, "Remember the golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules." The mirror symbolizes the power of self-knowledge. This self-knowledge, according to Japanese legend, was the most treasured of the three.

"An intelligent person hires people who are more intelligent than he is."

Schools were designed to produce good employees, instead of employers.

Wealth is a person’s ability to survive so many number of days forward—or, if I stopped working today, how long could I survive?

The rich focus on their asset columns while everyone else focuses on their income statements.

Financial struggle is often the result of people working all their lives for someone else.

Start minding your own business. Keep your daytime job, but start buying real assets, not liabilities.

My rich dad just played the game smart, and he did it through corporations—the biggest secret of the rich.

If you work for money, you give the power to you employer. If money works for you, you keep the power and control it.

Each dollar in my asset column was a great employee, working hard to make more employees and buy the boss a new Porsche.

The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth.

Financial intelligence is a synergy of accounting, investing, marketing, and law.

Job is an acronym for "Just Over Broke."

"So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?" The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems.

The most important specialized skills are sales and marketing.

The primary difference between a rich person and a poor person is how they manage fear.

Another saying in Texas is, "Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die."

Rich dad believed that the words "I can’t afford it" shut down your brain. "How can I afford it?" opens up possibilities, excitement, and dreams.

"What I know makes me money. What I don’t know loses me money.

There is gold everywhere. Most people are not trained to see it.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A STRONG REASON, THERE IS NO SENSE READING FURTHER. IT WILL SOUND LIKE TOO MUCH WORK.

The sophisticated investor’s first question is: "How fast do I get my money back?"

"God does not need to receive, but humans need to give."

He is yelling at the pot-bellied stove, "When you give me some heat, then I’ll put some wood in you!" And when it comes to money, love, happiness, sales, and contacts, all one needs to remember is to give first.

"A real investor makes money in an up market and a down market.

Warren Buffett, America’s richest investor says, "Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing."

"What is your goal in life?" The answer is found in the simple, yet profound, statement by a Vietnamese monk, Thich Naht Hahn: "The path is the goal."

Edison said, "I did not fail 1,014 times. I successfully found out what did not work 1,014 times."

"Lift up your heads," Robert Winthrop told the crowd many years ago at the unveiling of a statue of that great hero of American independence Benjamin Franklin, "and look at the image of a man who rose from nothing, who owed nothing to parentage or patronage, who enjoyed no advantages of early education which are not open-a hundredfold open-to yourselves, who performed the most menial services in the businesses in which his early life was employed, but who lived to stand before Kings, and died to leave a name which the world will never forget."

The tallest oak in the forest is the tallest not just because it grew from the hardiest acorn; it is the tallest also because no other trees blocked its sunlight, the soil around it was deep and rich, no rabbit chewed through its bark as a sapling, and no lumberjack cut it down before it matured.

"Matthew Effect" after the New Testament verse in the Gospel of Matthew: "For unto everyone that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance. But from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." It is those who are successful, in other words, who are most likely to be given the kinds of special opportunities that lead to further success.

Bill Joy is one of the most influential people in the modern history of computing

"Programming with cards," one computer scientist from that era remembers, "did not teach you programming. It taught you patience and proofreading."

"KNOWLEDGE OF A BOY'S IQ IS OF LITTLE HELP IF YOU ARE FACED WITH A FORMFUL OF CLEVER BOYS."

"There is nothing about an individual as important as his IQ, except possibly his morals," Terman once said.

"Why are manhole covers round?" If you don't know the answer to that question, you're not smart enough to work at Microsoft.

"Harvard is basically a glorified corporation, operating with a profit incentive. That's what makes it tick. It has an endowment in the billions of dollars. The people running it are not necessarily searching for truth and knowledge.

Robert Sternberg calls "practical intelligence.,, To Sternberg, practical intelligence includes things like "knowing what to say to whom, knowing when to say it, and knowing how to say it for maximum effect."

"I always feel that the closer you get to the original sources, the better off you are,"

He'd had to make his way alone, and no one-not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses-ever makes it alone.

He waddles when he walks. He doodles when he thinks. He mumbles when he talks.

Once I said to him, 'What's the rest of the country like, Uncle Al?' And he said, 'Kiddo. When you leave New York, every place is Bridgeport.'

Like so many other immigrants to America in those years, theirs was a leap of faith.

If you are working in a field in California, you have no clue what's happening to the produce when it gets on the truck. If you are working in a small garment shop, your wages are low, and your conditions are terrible, and your hours are long, but you can see exactly what the successful people are doing, and you can see how you can set up your own job.

Planes are safer when the least experienced pilot is flying, because it means the second pilot isn't going to be afraid to speak up.

"NO ONE WHO CAN RISE BEFORE DAWN THREE HUNDRED SIXTY DAYS A YEAR FAILS TO MAKE HIS FAMILY RICH."

As stated by Douglas McIlroy, Unix programs have always been expected to follow the concept of DOTADIW.

Do one thing and do it well.

Some people are obsessed about the LOC (Lines of Code). You shouldn’t care about it. It’s not the key to modular development. All you need to know is how to use the Lego blocks to build a castle. But even Modularity is a powerful concept, but like anything else, it’s not a magic stick.

One programmer broke the internet

There was a situation in 2016. A man named Azer Koçulu broke the internet by removing just a micro-package named left-pad. Because many projects use it as a dependency. The impact of these was large as it was being used in numerous very popular projects like Babel, Atom, React, etc.

Hayat, derbederlik ve tembellik için çok uzun; fakat hırsla, yağma bir haydutluk yapmaya değmeyecek kadar kısadır.

“Biliyor musun, insan en güzel trende düşünür…

Eğer gençler bilse, ihtiyarlar yapabilse.

Tavsiyeleri işe değil, kişiye bakan insanlardan almalısınız. Bu tipte insanlar sizin kim olduğunuza, nasıl bir birikimle geldiğinize, neye ihtiyaç duyduğunuza bakar. Yoksa ezbere tavsiye vermek çok kolaydır.

İnsana değer katan insanla beraber olun.

Tilda hanım, Yaşar Kemal’in kendisine de çok değer katmıştır. Yaşar Kemal’in dünyaya açılması onun sayesindedir.

Yaşar Kemal yaşar Kemal yapan Tilda (Kemal) hanımın kendisidir.

Ne yaşadıysanız yüzünüze yansır. İnsanın yüzü bir kitap gibi okunabilir. İfadeniz bomboşsa hiçbir şey yaşamadığınız fark edilir. Bundan kaçının, monotonluktan uzaklaşın. Yüzünüz ifadesiz kalmasın.

Latincede, “Omnia mesaj mecum porta” diye bir tabir var; “Her şeyimi yanımda taşıyorum,“ anlamına gelir. Yanımda sadece beynimi taşırım, en fazla iki kitabım vardır; bir yerden bir yere sadece onlarla gidip geliyorum demektir. Açıkçası bu kadarı da yeter.

Biz de de, “bir çulum var atarım, nerede olsa yatarım,“ denir.

iğreti aldığın insanın, sana karşı yetişme mükellefiyeti yoktur. Yetiştireceğin dervişe evvela çorbasını ve hırkasını vereceksin, ne olursa olsun.

İslam dünyası hakkında ümidinizi yitirirseniz de Bosna‘ya gidin.

Macaristan’ın başkenti, “Buda“ ve “Peşte “isimli iki şehirden oluşur.

Bir şehrin nasıl bir yer olduğunu öğrenmek için, küçük insanın nelerle mutlu olduğuna bakın. Onlar şehirden istifade edebiliyorsa, orası iyi bir şehirdir. Burjuvazi yolunu her yerde bulur ama küçük insan bulamaz.

Sinemada İtalyanlar, müzikte Almanlar, romanda Ruslar, Şiirde İranlılar en yükseği çıkmıştır. Zor yakalanacak, uçarıca bir ihtişama sahip Fransız edebiyatı da bir başka büyüktür.

“Tiyatro neymiş görmek isteyen üç şehre gitmelidir: Moskova, Londra ve Tel Aviv.“ - İlber Ortaylı

İyi şiir; iyi bir kütüphanede çalıştıktan sonra, iyi bir salonda, iyi bir tiyatro oyunu seyredebildiğin ve temsilin ardından güzel bir kafeye gidip sohbet edebildiğin şehirdir.

Sohbet kelimesinin tam karşılığı yok batı dillerinde.

Sohbet koyultmak.

Bir kişinin evrenin sırrını çözmesi, Himalayalar’daki bir karıncanın Wall Street borsasının işleyişini anlaması kadar imkânsızdır.

Onlar arasındaki farklar: düşünmek, gülmek, yüz yüze sevişmek.

Gülmek değil ama "yüze gülmek" denen şey kabul gören bir tavır. Tatlı dilli olmak da öyle.

Anadolu İngiltere Japonya gibi bir ada değil sürekli işgal edilmiş sürekli egemenlerin değiştiği bir bölgede yaşamış insanlar bundan dolayı dili çok gelişmiş.

Bir Nazi generali, "Kültür sözünü her duyduğunda elim tabancama gidiyor."

Abdülhamid diyor ki "Benim tebaam içinden en geri kalmış olanlar Müslümanlardır."

Atın kaç dişi vardır diye tartışılırken, adam bir at getirip sayalım dediği için idam ettiler.

Bizde "Şuyuu, vukuundan beter" diye bir vardır; yani "Bir şeyin duyulması, olmasından daha kötüdür." Duyulmadığı sürece mesele yoktur! Batılı suçluluk duyar, Doğulu ise utanır.

Mevlananın da dediği gibi "Sen okyanusta bir damla değil, damladaki okyanussun."

Bir ülkede ne kadar çok banka şubesi görürseniz ekonomi o kadar bozuk demektir.

Üç büyük dinin bu coğrafyadan çıkması tesadüf değil. Bu topraklarda şiir vahiy, şair de peygamber gibi.

Sonsuz zaman ve mekan algısını yaratan iki yer vardır: Çöl ve Derya (Bir de Sema var ama hiç birimiz orada yaşayamadığımız için gökyüzünü Tanrı’ya bırakmışız.)

Bütün aşk destanlarında erkek adı öndedir. Romeo ve Juliet, Tristan ve Isolde, Kerem ile Aslı, Ferhad ile Şirin, Tahir ile Zühre vs. Oysa Leyla ile Mecnun’da kadın adı önce gelir. Kadına en az değer verildiğini sandığımız doğu kültüründe.

Nazi döneminde Türkiye’de kalmış, Türkiye’ye sığınmış profesörlerden biri de Ernst Reuter idi. Daha sonra batı Berlin’in ilk belediye başkanı oldu. Türkiye’de geçirdiği yıllardaki gözlemi "Türkiye’de önemli adamlar değersizdir, değersizler ise önemli konumdadır" diyerek dile getirmişti.

Milyarlarca köle yaratan kapitalizim. Eskisiyle en büyük farkı, modern kölelerin ayaklarındaki prangaların bu kez görünmez şekilde kafalara yerleştirilmiş olması. Böylece kendini özgür sanan kölelerle dolu bir dünya.

O pabucu dama atma sözünü biliyorsunuz elbette. Nereden geliyor? Bir kişinin yaptırdığı pabuç çabuk delinir, yıpranırsa ve esnaf Loncası bu kişinin şikayetini kabul ederse o pop uç esnafın dükkanının damına asılır, bunu gören kimse o esnafa gitmez ve böylece o esnaf cezalandırılmış olurdu.

Avrupai politika güden Mustafa Kemal tam bir Osmanlı paşası, padişah Abdülhamid ise İslami politika yürüttüğümesine rağmen özel hayatında Avrupalı. Bu durum bana kültür karmaşamızın ve kimlik meselelerimizi çarpıcı bir özeti gibi geliyor.

Cumhuriyetin İlk yıllarında Türkiye’yi ziyaret eden Fransız yazar Georges Duhamel Türkiye için "Doğulu ülkelerin en batılısı, batılı ülkelerin en doğulusu" demişti.

Mesela İran. Gençlerin elinden Hafız, Sadi, Hayyam divanları düşmüyor.

Talihsiz bir Trapez artisti gibi doğru salıncağını bırakıp kendimize fırlattık ve karşı tarafta batı salıncağının gelmesini bekledik. Ne yazıkki gelmedi ve kendimizi boşlukta bulduk.

Dünya niye Rumi adıyla Mevlana Celaletin'i biliyor da Yunus’u, pir Sultan’ı çoğunluğunu bilmiyor? Sebebi basit. Mevlana farsça yazmıştı.

Osmanlı padişahlarının hiçbiri hacca gitmedi. Böyle bir gelenek yok, hatta böyle bir şey düşünmek bile hoş görülmüyor, yanlış bulmuyor.

Osmanlı padişahlarının isimlerinde, hiç İslam dinine ait büyük insanların isimleri yok. Mesela Ebu Bekir yok Ömer yok Ali yok. Muhammet bile Mehmet olarak çevrilmiş öyle kullanılmış.

Peygamber, “Arap bendendir ama ben Araptan değilim” demiş.

Hazreti Ali’ye gelip, falanca senin aleyhinde konuşuyor demişler. Düşünmüş düşünmüş ve Hayret demiş, ona bir iyilik de yapmadım ki.

Rönesans yaratıcılığı, insanların birden fazla disiplinle meşgul olması ve bir çok dalda eser vermesi anlamına gelir.

Hans Eisler’in de dediği gibi “Sadece müzikten anlayan, müzikten hiçbir şey anlamaz.“

Yaklaşık olarak 2500 yıl önce iyonya ve helen filozofları iki kıyıdan gelerek Samos adasında buluştular günler boyunca sanatla bilimi arasındaki ilişkiyi tartıştılar. Bu uzun sempozyum sonunda ortaya çıkan bildiri binlerce yıldır unutulmadı. Bu bildiride, “sanat ve bilim üst noktada birleşirz, bir ve aynı şeydir“ hükmüne varılmıştı.

Dikkat edersen büyük romanlarda, saf bir insan veya kötü insan özelliklerini taşıyan karakterler pek bulunmaz. İçinde yaşadığı koşullarla etkileşim halinde insanların hikayesi anlatılır. Gerçekliğin ve insan özelliklerinin çok boyutlu niteliği ele alınır.

Entellektüellik çokta dinleyecek bir şey değildir. Tersine, entelektüel olmak acı çekmek demektir. Etrafında olup biteni, dünyada olup biteni yorumlayan kişi, “bana ne ya, benim keyfim yerinde“ deme lüksüne sahip olabilir mi?

Gazi’ye “en iyi silah hangisidir?“ Diye sormuşlar. “Yerine göre“ diye cevap vermiş.

Gönül, kalp, yürek kelimelerine bakalım; bunlar birbirinin yerine kullanılabilirmiş gibi geliyor. Peki bir de bunların karşıtlarının düşünelim: gönül söz, kalpsiz, yüreksiz. Bu kelimelerden herhangi birini feda edebilir miyiz? Biri isteksiz, diğeri acımasız, öbürü korkak gibi, ne kadar farklı anlamlar çıkıyor ortaya.

Şarktan gelen bir İslam alimi, molla kabız, Hazreti İsa’nın Hazreti Muhammed den daha üstün olduğunu iddia ediyordu. Kuru ana ve İslami bilgilere dayandırarak ileri sürüyordu. Bu bilgisayara ulaşınca, kovuşturmaya karar verildi. Molla’nın karşısında iki kişi çıktı, iki kazasker. Ve Çetin bir tartışmaya tutuştular. Ne var ki, sahip oldukları İslam bilgileri ile Kabız’ı mat edemediler. Çünkü molla kabız, daha fazla Kur’an alıntı yapıyor, daha çok bilgi ortaya koyuyordu.

Yine de onun haksız ve zararlı olduğuna karar verip idamına hükmettiler. Padişah ise bu duruma kızdı. “Siz onu ilmen alt edemediyseniz, bu karar siyasidir“ gerekçesiyle, onaylamadı.

“Fotoğraf makineyle çekilmez, gözle, dünyaya bakışla çekilir; yoksa en iyi tablosu olan en iyi yazar olurdu“ - Ara Güler

Eskiden entelektüel dediğimiz kişi düşünceleriyle kendi başını belaya sokardı; sürgünler, hapisler... şimdi iktidarın yanında saf tutarak halkın başını belaya sokuyor.

Yaşar Kemal hayatı boyunca yazdığı binlerce sayfa içinde, daha sonda utanacağı, pişman olacağı tek bir cümle bile yoktur.

Nâzımın sözünü ettiği, “Kazanan tarafta değil, haklı tarafta yer almak” tercihi gibi.

“Vatanı savunması için kaçınılmaz değilse her savaş bir cinayettir.” - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

Ne cenaze olur müziksiz ne de düğün; ne devrim ne direniş ne de cinsellik. Hayat da böyledir aslında. Hayatın, toplumun bir şarkısı vardır.

Batı dediğimiz dünya aslında bir nehir yatağıdır. Anadolu insanı da bu nehire ancak kendi değerlerini katarsa girebilir.

“Popüler olan her şeyden nefret ederim“-Bernard Shaw

Hacıbektaş, böyle bir ülkenin kasabası, ama hiç suç işlenmiyor. Üstelik her yıl Ağustos ayında düzenlenen şenlikler bedeniyle normalde nufüsü 10bin olan yer 500bine çıkıyor. Kontrol altında tutulması, denetlenmesi mümkün olmayan bir şenlik organizasyonu bu. Ama o günler boyunca da herhangi bir suç ortaya çıkmıyor.

Hacı Bektaş, bugün kendi adını taşıyan kasabaya güvercin kılığında gelmiştir. Bilindiği gibi, güvercin Şaman inancına göre de kutsaldır. Ayrıca evrensel olarak barışın simgesi kabul edilir.

Başarı bir virüstür. Yapılan işin ve hayatın anacının başarı olması, büyük bir sorundur. Yoksa kendiliğinden ortaya çıkan bir sonuç olarak başarı başka bir şey.

Sonuçta 12 Eylül darbesi sürüyor. İktidar koltuklarında askerler yok çoktandır, ama medyada, kültür sanat politikalarında, eğitim sisteminde 12 Eylül devam ediyor.

Türkler mi İslam’ı geri bıraktı İslam mı Türkleri?

Ülkendeki koşulların izin verdiği kadar gelişebiliyorsun. Balık gölüne göre büyüyor.

Edebiyatçı da aranması gereken asıl şart, tarafsız olmak değil, objektif olmaktır. Objektif, biliyorsunuz, fotoğraf makinesi gibi aygıtlardaki bir tür mercekler sistemine de deniyor. Nesnelerden yansıyan ışıkları toplayıp bir noktaya odaklar. Nesnelerin algılanmasını sağlar. Objektif adlı parça bunu yaparken, ortamdan yansıyan ışıklar arasında ayrım yapmaz; bazılarını yok sayıp bazılarını öne çıkarmaz.

Türkiye’deki insanlar için dün ve yarın yoktur. Onlar bugün yaşar.

Afkan kralı emanullah Han Türkiye ziyaretinde çok heyecanlanmış, Atatürk’e aynı devrimleri ülkesinde de yapacağını söylemişti. Atatürk onu kadın giysilerine karışmaması konusunda uyarmış, İyi damla bile 100 yüze kalabilecegini belirtmişti. Dikkat et, Atatürk kadın giysileri ile ilgili hiçbir yasa çıkarmamış, hiçbir şey söylememiştir. Maalesef emanullah Han onu dinlemedi, kadınların giysilerine müdahale etti ve idam edildi.

Paul Valery “ politika, halka ait işleri halkı karıştırmadan yürütme sanatıdır.“

Nazım, insan elinin mağara duvarına ilk kez bizon çizdiği günden beri akan bir ulu ırmaktan söz eder.

WhatsApp doesn’t allow you to send messages to your own number. Of course, you can use one of your friends for that aim, but it can be annoying for your friend over time. A better way of it is using the simple trick below.

Here's How

1. Create a group with one of your contacts

2. Remove the lone participant from the group

After removing the member, you will be the only member of that group. So practically you will have a private group for transfers and storage.

The best part is, everything in this group is accessible from the desktop and mobile. Just open web.whatsapp.com on the computer and send the file to this group. It will instantly become available on your phone or on other desktops.

You can use this group for two main purposes: Quick Transfer and Storage.

• Some other archive types

How to disable Safari's “Open Safe Files” setting on macOS

1. Open Safari on your Mac and click the Safari menu item at the top of the screen.

2. Choose Preferences… from the drop-down menu and make sure you’re on the General tab when the new window opens. If not, click the General tab.

3. If the box has a check in it, the feature is enabled, meaning that the “safe” files open automatically. Click the box once to remove the check and disable the feature.
