Success and failure are unavoidably related in our minds with the state of things around us. Hence it is that people with a sense of fulfillment think it is a good world and would like to preserve it as it is, while the frustrated favor radical change. The tendency to look for all causes outside ourselves persists even when it is clear that our state of being is the product of personal qualities such as ability, character, appearance, health and so on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to really get the word out to the industry to make sure they know what the opportunities are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32951]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to really get the word out to the industry to make sure they know what the opportunities are here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I submit all my plays to the National Theatre for rejection.

We still keep on thinking they can. We do not realize ... the utter distinctness of God and the things of God. Psychology of religion can not teach us prayer, and ethics cannot teach us love. Only Christ can do that, and He teaches by the direct method, in and among the circumstances of life. He does not mind about our being comfortable. He wants us to be strong, able to tackle life and be Christians, be apostles in life, so we must be trained by the ups and downs, the rough-and-tumble of life.
