Quotes about Objective

The things you need in life are those that will help you to fulfill your dominant purpose.  Things you may want but not need may lead you aside from that purpose.  It is only by making everything serve your main objective that success is attained.

"Each person perceives, experiences, and interprets the world and its events in accord withg their own prdominant level of consciousness. this is further reinforced by the mind's proclivity to explanation via mentalization and rationalized interpretation of perceived data"...."Because the mind, by virtue of its innate structure, is unable to differentiate perception from essence or res cogitans (interna) from res externa (extensa), as noted by René Descartes, it makes the naïve assumption that it experiences and thereby 'knows reality' and that other viewpoints therefore must be 'wrong'.........". David R. Hawkins, "The Reality, Spirituality, and Modern Man", 2008, p. 59-60

History is a selective interpretation of events intended to justify those currently in power. Memory is the same thing on an individual scale.

Of course, a psychologist would find it more direct to study the inspired poet. He would make concrete studies of inspiration in individual geniuses. But for all that, would he experience the phenomena of inspiration? His human documentation gathered from inspired poets could hardly be related, except from the exterior, in an ideal of objective observations. Comparison of inspired poets would soon make us lose sight of inspiration.

Quote

Some individuals have developed such strong internal standards that they no longer need the opinion of others to judge whether they have performed a task well or not. The ability to give objective feedback to oneself is in fact the mark of the expert.

Quote

First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends: wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.

Aristotle : Greek philosopher, student of Plato, tutor of Alexander the Great
Aristotle (384 - 322 BC)
