MICHAEL JORDAN ON SUCCESS

“To be successful you have to be selfish,


or else you never achieve.


And once you get to your highest level,


then you have to be unselfish.
Stay reachable.


Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.”

QUINCY JONES ON THE CURRENT STATE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

Quincy Jones with Michael Jackson

What are your thoughts on the present condition of the music industry with piracy and low record sales?

“The current state of all music is facing a dilemma of piracy of 90-95%, which is a catastrophe in the record business all over the world. Everybody is stealing all the music and it’s on both people. If you only make one or two hits people aren’t gonna pay for a package. Back in the day we came up with five No. 1′s and seven top 5 hits to make it worth it for someone wanting to own the package. We need to get back to that which takes work.”

ANDRE 3000 ON PROGRESS

Photobucket

“Walk it out like Usher
If you say real talk I probably won’t trust ya. If you wanna go to war, the guns my pleasure.
Even Jesus had 12 disciples on the lever, trigger, whatever. Pumm, you don’t want no dega 3 thou,
I’m like jury duty, you’re new to this part of town
Your white tee, well to me, looks like a nightgown, Make ya mama proud,
take that thing two sizes down. Then you’d look like the man that you are, or what you could be
I could give a damn ’bout your car but then that would be. If it was considered a classic before the drastic change in production when cars were metal instead of plastic
Value is what I’m talkin about
Take two of these and walk it out
You be the reason they talk it out
You can’t be the king of the parking lot, forever…
Not saying I’m the best but ’til they find somethin’ better I am here no fear write me a letter
’til then…”

VIRGINIA WOOLF ON CONTROVERSY

Photobucket







“When a subject is highly controversial one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one’s audience the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the prejudices, and the idiosyncrasies of the speaker.”

HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA ON SELFISHNESS

Dalai Lama

“We can also approach the importance of compassion through intelligent reasoning. If I help another person, and show concerns for him or her, then I myself will benefit from that. However, if I harm others, eventually I will be in trouble. I often joke, half sincerely and half seriously, saying that if we wish to be truly selfish, we should be wisely selfish rather than foolishly selfish. Our intelligence can help to adjust our attitude in this respect. If we use it well, we can gain insight as to how we can fulfill our own self-interest by leading a compassionate way of life.”
