“I’VE FOUND that the faster I play, the more accurate I become.”
“I’VE never been confused about what I was supposed to do while I was down here. If I think of it, I do it.”

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS about your main weaknesses can provide a great stimulus to further growth.

CARL ROGERS 1902-1987—“On Becoming A Person”On Personal Power”.
A PERSON cannot teach another person directly; a person can only facilitate another’s learning.

WHEN the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance . . . provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.
