I don't think of power in terms of conquering people. I don't think of it as something to be imposed. That kind of power seldom lasts. But you should realize that power is a constant in the world. You shape your perceptions, or someone shapes them for you. You do what you want to do, or you respond to someone else's plan for you. To me, ultimate power is the ability to produce the results you desire most and create value for others in the process. Power is the ability to change your life, to shape your perceptions, to make things work for you and not against you. Real power is shared, not imposed. It's the ability to define human needs and to fulfill themboth your needs and the needs of the people you care about. It's the ability to direct your own personal kingdomyour own thought processes, your own behaviorso you produce the precise results you desire. Anthony (Tony) Robbins		Thursday Apr 03, 2025

Selected Quote
He who resolves never to ransack any mind but his own, will be soon reduced, from mere barrenness, to the poorest of all imitations; he will be obliged to imitate himself, and to repeat what he has before often repeated. Sir Joshua Reynolds

Other Sir Joshua Reynolds Quotes

A mere copier of nature can never produce anything great.

Nothing is denied to well-directed labor, And nothing is ever to be attained without it.

Taste depends upon those finer emotions which make the organization of the soul.

Gardening, as far as Gardening is Art, or entitled to that appellation, is a deviation from nature; for if the true taste consists, as many hold, in banishing every appearance of Art, or any traces of the footsteps of man, it would then be no longer a Garden.

Invention, strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory. Nothing can be made of nothing; he who has laid up no materials can produce no combinations.

If you have great talents, industry will improve them: if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency.

He who resolves never to ransack any mind but his own, will be soon reduced, from mere barrenness, to the poorest of all imitations; he will be obliged to imitate himself, and to repeat what he has before often repeated.
