Manchmal wenn ich über ein Zitat stolpere, dann denke ich: “Wow, das hätte ich nicht besser sagen können”.
Ich habe 11 Zitate zusammengestellt, über die ich dieses Jahr immer wieder gestolpert bin.
Diese 11 Zitate konnten meine Gedanken in vielen Momenten besser in Worte fassen, als ich das konnte.
Ich habe sie in zwei Kategorien aufgeteilt: In der ersten geht es um Bildung, Schule und Hochschule.
Die zweite Kategorie dreht sich um das Leben an sich, um Angst und um Veränderung.
I) Zitate über die Schule und das Bildungssystem
1) “You’ve been fed a lie. The lie is that if you study hard in school, get good grades, get into a good college, and get a degree, then your success in life is guaranteed. This might have been true 50 years ago. But it is no longer true today.”
– Aus dem Buch Education of Millionaires von Michale Ellsberg
2) “School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is.”
– Ivan Illich
3) “I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones
4) “An educated man is not one who is trained to carry a few dates in history – he is one who can accomplish things. … A man’s real education begins after he has left school. True education is gained through the discipline of life… A man may be very learned and useless… Merely gathering knowledge may be the most useless work a man can do. What can you do to help and heal the world? That is the education test.”
– aus der Autobiographie von Henry Ford
5) “If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.”
– Frank Zappa
(Schau mal hier: 52 Bücher, die ich 2014 gelesen habe.)
6) “Das größte Risiko, das ein junger Mensch bei der Berufswahl eingehen kann, ist, den “sicheren” Weg zu wählen und das zu machen, was alle um ihn herum ihm raten zu tun – nämlich das, was alle anderen auch machen.”
– Hermann Scherer in seinem Buch “Glückskinder”
II. Über Angst, das Leben und Veränderung
7) “… the people we think have power, don’t actually have power. Who really has the power is the people who are not enslaved by the story that’s running society.”
– Charles Eisenstein
8) “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”
– Jack Canfield
9) “If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are.”
– Charles de Montesquieu
10) “We don’t control what happens to us, but we do control how we respond.”
– Grundaussage der stoischen Philosophie. (Gefunden in “The Obstacle is the Way
11) “The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”
– Bob Moawad (gefunden bei bedouinwriter )
Mein Motto für 2015: “The best way to complain is to make things”
– James Murphy
