"Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone." ― Martha Beck Topic(s): Age More From Martha Beck "Given the eclectic and constantly shifting nature of my metaphysical inclinations, I will probably never feel certain exactly what an angel is." "My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know, we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind." "Allowing children to show their guilt, show their grief, show their anger, takes the sting out of the situation." More In Age "I can’t date women my own age any more – I hate going to cemeteries."― Cesar Romero "When you hire that first person, then you’re a boss. You’ve got performance reviews. You’ve got complaints about not making enough money. You’ve got people who are just going to sell your story to the tabloids."― Scott Adams "To be perfectly honest, I think that as I’m growing older, I’m just growing more impatient. I’ll be very happy if at some point people say, ‘Michael’s grown wiser and softer in his old age.’ But we’ll have to wait and see what my next project is."― Michael Haneke
