S | Play Nintendo - Page 4 The Power of Non-violence by Martin Luther King, Jr. Martin Luther King, Jr. June 04, 1957 From the very beginning there was a philosophy undergirding the Montgomery boycott, the philosophy of nonviolent resistance. Another thing that we had to get over was the fact that the nonviolent resister does not seek to humiliate or defeat the opponent but to win his friendship and understanding. Then we had to make it clear also that the nonviolent resister seeks to attack the evil system rather than individuals who happen to be caught up in the system. Another basic thing we had to get over is that nonviolent resistance is also an internal matter. The Greek language uses three words for love. I am quite aware of the fact that there are persons who believe firmly in nonviolence who do not believe in a personal God, but I think every person who believes in nonviolent resistance believes somehow that the universe in some form is on the side of justice. Modern psychology has a word that is probably used more than any other word. Share This

Taste of Ink Studios | Business Card Design | Company Logo Design | Custom Business Cards | Website Development Lifes Choices Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or .. you can choose to be in a bad mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... "Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. You choose how you react to situations. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life." "Weren't you scared?

Pourquoi nous ne pouvons pas attendre L’un de vos arguments fondamentaux est que notre action se produit à un mauvais moment. Certains ont demandé : « Pourquoi ne pas avoir donné aux nouveaux élus le temps d’agir ? ». La seule réponse que nous pouvons donner, c’est que le nouveau pouvoir, comme l’ancien, a besoin d’être bousculé pour enfin agir. L’histoire est la longue et tragique illustration du fait que les groupes privilégiés cèdent rarement leurs privilèges sans y être contraints. « Attendez ! Depuis des années, j’entends ce mot : « Attendez ! Il nous faut constater avec l’un de nos éminents juristes que « Justice trop tardive est déni de justice ». Ceux qui n’ont jamais senti le dard brûlant de la ségrégation raciale ont beau jeu de dire : « Attendez ! Il vient un temps où la coupe est pleine et où les hommes ne supportent plus de se trouver plongés dans les abîmes du désespoir. « Pourquoi prônez-vous la désobéissance ? Vous exprimez une grande inquiétude à l’idée que nous sommes disposés à enfreindre la loi.

Home | GQ Mexico The Inspiration Tree: I Believe... that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I believe… that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you. that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help. that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon. that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel. that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have. that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated. that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. that no matter how bad your heart is broken that the world doesn’t stop for your grief. What do you believe?
