Castaldo Development Quotes

The result of neo-colonialism is that foreign capital is used for the exploitation rather than for the development of the less developed parts of the world. Investment under neo-colonialism increases rather than decreases the gap between the rich and poor countries of the world. ~ Kwame Nkrumah

I understood that it was time to quit postponing the embracing of my own potential. There was nothing more I needed to do to be worthy enough – and any other excuse I could muster to explain why I couldn't step up right away – was simply that… an excuse. ~ Janet Louise Stephenson

No institution can become the cradle of leadership, until its teachers break their manacles of rugged dogmas. ~ Abhijit Naskar

Recurring dreams for some may seem like a punishment; the reality is it is done out of love to enable your spiritual enhancement. ~ Pamela Cummins

Self-leadership always precedes team leadership. ~ Michael Hyatt

I'm a common law judge. I believe in deciding every case on its facts, not on a legal philosophy. And I believe in deciding each case in the most limited way possible, because common law judges have a firm belief that the best development of the law is the one that lets society show you the next step, and that next step is in the new facts that each case presents. ~ Sonia Sotomayor

The Historical Point of View, put briefly, means that when a learned man is presented with any statement in an ancient author, the one question he never asks is whether it is true. He asks who influenced the ancient writer, and how far the statement is consistent with what he said in other books, and what phase in the writer's development, or in the general history of thought, it illustrates, and how it affected later writers, and how often it has been misunderstood (specially by the learned man's own colleagues) and what the general course of criticism on it has been for the last ten years, and what is the "present state of the question. ~ C.S. Lewis

The bizarre reality created by the Nazis became a fertile soil for the expression of sadistic wishes and fantasies in various stages of development. Even in cases where the parents themselves did not suffer psychoses and found themselves only indirectly involved, through the destruction of their relatives, in the fantastic psychotic system of persecution, they became, on the other hand, carriers of an archaic sadomasochistic superego for their children, and on the other, they transmitted to them sadomasochistic wishes and fantasies. ~ Terez Virag

If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development. ~ Brian Tracy

The critical mind is too thin and cold, thinking itself will help little and reason will be of small avail; only the spirit of reasonableness, a sort of warm, glowing, emotional and intuitive thinking, joined with compassion, will insure us against a reversion to our ancestral type. Only the development of our life to bring it into harmony with our instincts can save us. I consider the education of our senses and our emotions rather more important than the education of our ideas. ~ Lin Yutang

On the observational side, by far the most important development has been the measurement of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation by COBE (the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite) ~ Stephen Hawking

We are either the second creation of our own proactive design, or we are the second creation of other people's agendas, of circumstances, or of past habits. ~ Stephen R. Covey

Developments since the rise of National Socialism make it probable that the continent will be freed from its Jewish destroyers of people and exploiters forever, and the German example after the German victory in World War II will also serve to bring about the destruction of the Jewish world tormentors on other continents. ~ Julius Streicher

You can use up all the slums for new development. In all the cities of the world, there are large areas of these. Also, you can avoid the spread of these silly suburban houses. Chicago has thousands of them all over the place. ~ Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe

Not everyone will like what you write but there's a certain group who'll love what you write. Keep WRITING for them. ~ David Chuka

Wherever possible, home is by far the best nest until at least eight, ten or twelve. Psychologists and psychiatrists who understand child development would prefer an even later age. In a reasonably warm home, parent-child responses, the true ABC's of sound education, are likely to be a hundred times more frequent than the average teacher-child responses in a classroom. ~ Dorothy Moore

Build a brand or a brand will build you. ~ Richie Norton

But no nation can base its survival and development on luck and prayers alone while its leadership fritters away every available opportunity for success and concrete achievement. ~ Ibrahim Babangida

In the case of Iraq, notwithstanding the violence there at the moment, the very fact that a hideous regime - responsible for genocide, for the use of chemical and biological weapons, aggression against two neighbors - has been removed in itself is a positive development. ~ Jose Ramos-Horta

Your inner strength is your outer foundation ~ Allan Rufus

At some time in your life, you probably had someone believe in you when you didn't believe in yourself. ~ Stephen R. Covey

Good type development thus demands that the auxiliary supplement the dominant process in two respects. It must supply a useful degree of balance not only between perception and judgment but also between extraversion and introversion. When it fails to do so it leaves the individual literally "unbalanced," retreating into the preferred world and consciously or unconsciously afraid of the other world. ~ Isabel Briggs Myers

The more people there are, the more food we need, the more space we occupy, the more resources and consumer goods we wish to have and the more development has to take place ~ Prince Philip

Unfortunately, the elimination of incentives such as parole, good time credits and funding for college courses, means that fewer inmates participate in and excel in literacy, education, treatment and other development programs. ~ Bobby Scott

Business coaching and the personal development and self-help industry is considered to be one of the booming industries today. ~ Brendon Burchard

The third aspect of change is a systematic development of respectful and inspiring working conditions for teachers and principals in Finnish schools. ~ Pasi Sahlberg

The understanding of "evolutionary consciousness" is perhaps the most important thing lacking in spiritual practices today. Evolution means growth and development. This means that there are aspects of reality that have not yet arisen in our consciousness. But they will arise if we grow. ~ Ken Wilber

By becoming aware of how you eat your eating will become a rich experience blessed with tasteful flavor, joyful texture, a deep sense of gratitude, and pleasurable contentment. ~ Ilchi Lee

Russell commented that the development of such gifted individuals (referring to polymaths) required a childhood period in which there was little or no pressure for conformity, a time in which the child could develop and pursue his or her own interests no matter how unusual or bizarre. ~ Carl Sagan

In a society of little economic development, universal inactivity accompanies universal poverty. You survive not by struggling against nature, or by increasing production, or by relentless labor; instead you survive by expending as little energy as possible, by striving constantly to achieve a state of immobility. ~ Ryszard Kapuscinski

Life is a progression of becoming who we are. ~ J.R. Rim

In general, the best clue to a nation's growth and development potential is the status and role of women. This is the greatest handicap of Muslim Middle Eastern societies today, the flaw that most bars them from modernity ~ Nicholas D. Kristof

Can there be true equality in the classroom and the boardroom if there isn't in the bedroom? Back in 1995 the National Commission on Adolescent Sexual Health declared healthy sexual development a basic human right. Teen intimacy, it said, ought to be "consensual, non-exploitative, honest, pleasurable, and protected against unintended pregnancy and STDs." How is it, over two decades later, that we are so shamefully short of that goal?

Sara McClelland, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, writes about sexuality as a matter of "intimate justice," touching on fundamental issues of gender inequality, economic disparity, violence, bodily integrity, physical and mental health, self-efficacy, and power dynamics in our most personal relationships. She asks us to consider: Who has the right to engage in sexual behavior? Who has the right to enjoy it? Who is the primary beneficiary of the experience? Who feels deserving? How does each partner define "good enough?" Those are thorny questions when looking at female sexuality at any age, but particularly when considering girls' early, formative experience. Nonetheless, I was determined to ask them. ~ Peggy Orenstein
