We're on tour to kind of explain why we do what we do, how its done and how we put it together. ~ Eric San
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Eric San
Why We Do What We Do: Understanding Self-Motivation BY EDWARD L. DECI WITH RICHARD FLASTE ~ Daniel H. Pink
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Daniel H. Pink
The power of lack can trigger so many actions and things! We do because we lack something! We act because we need something! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
People followed him not because of his idea of a changed America. People followed him because of their idea of a changed America. The part of the brain that influences our behavior and decisions does not have the capacity for language. We have trouble saying clearly, in emotional terms, why we do what we do, and offer rationalizations that, though valid and true, are not powerful enough to inspire others. ~ Simon Sinek
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Simon Sinek
For an extensive and fascinating discussion of the use and pitfalls of rewards, see Edward Deci, Why We Do What We Do: Understanding Self-Motivation (New York: Penguin, 1996); Alfie Kohn, Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes (New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1999); Daniel Pink, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us (New York: Riverhead, 2009). ~ Gretchen Rubin
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Gretchen Rubin
The establishment uses that rationale all the time, and that's why we do what we do. But leadership requires some understanding that you can say no. People have base instincts, but the transcendent also appeal to them. ~ Norman Lear
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Norman Lear
You are worthy! Let those words sink deep into your heart. You are worthy. Life can get overwhelming for us, as our busy schedules keep us on our toes. Sometimes we forget that we need to intentionally slow down, take a deep breath, and remind ourselves of our purpose, the very foundation of why we do what we do. When we neglect to quiet our souls and rest in God's amazing grace, we miss out on the intimate opportunities where God assures us of our worthiness, clarifies our purpose, and strengthens us to endure each day. ~ Jennifer Smith
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Jennifer Smith
The road that connects our thoughts to the ears of others is our tongue. What travel on this road is our word. Our action is the energy which transmits our emotions to the eyes of others and causes a great change in their minds ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Why we do what we do: that moment when you get to see the future on your computer screen before the rest of the world. ~ Aaron Levie
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Aaron Levie
Rebrand is not just about buzzing brand words; it's about repurposing your lives, finding your true voice and building an authentic brand that impact lives. It's a call to reexamine our lives, our goals and dreams; to think about why we do what we do, to align lives back to source (God) and connect with the hearts of people. It's a movement, to help, to add value, to create meaning, to impact lives. ~ Bernard Kelvin Clive
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Bernard Kelvin Clive
But who knows why we really do anything? Who knows why we do what we do when we do it? Why your local barista greeted you with a curt 'hi' instead of her usual, mellifluous-sounding 'hello' has a trillion justifications. So, why someone decides to commit suicide might take a while to explain, and a lifetime to begin comprehending... ~ Samuel Armen
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Samuel Armen
It's just about asking why. We as cooks historically have been very, very technically proficient but not technically informed as to why we do what we do. Modernist cuisine is about that knowledge. ~ Wylie Dufresne
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Wylie Dufresne
And is that why we do what we do? For public approval, for fame? Do we help people because they will be appropriately grateful--or merely because they need help? ~ Kurt Busiek
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Kurt Busiek
Freedom. That's the core of why we do what we do. Peace is a fallacy in itself. Personally, I only know of two forms of peace - peace in death and the peace of slavery." He snorted in amusement. "And I'm not certain about death. ~ Evan Currie
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Evan Currie
That's when America soars, when we look out for one another and we take care of each other, when we root for one another's success, when we strive to do better and to be better than the generation that came before us and try to build something better for generations to come, that's why we do what we do. That's the whole point of public service. ~ Barack Obama
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Barack Obama
Success comes when we wake up every day in that never-ending pursuit of why we do what we do. ~ Simon Sinek
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Simon Sinek
Value your parabatai," he said. "For it is a precious bond. All love is precious. It is why we do what we do. Why do we fight demons? Why are they not fit custodians of this world? What makes us better? It is because they do not build, but destroy. They do not love, but hate only. We are human and fallible, we Shadowhunters. But if we did not have the capability to love, we could not guard humans; we must love to guard them. My parabatai, he loved like few ever could love, with all and everything. I see you are like that too; it burns more brightly in you than the fire of Heaven ~ Cassandra Clare
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Cassandra Clare
We say WHAT we do, we sometimes say HOW we do it, but we rarely say WHY we do WHAT we do. ~ Simon Sinek
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Simon Sinek
We may not always know exactly why we do what we do, choose what we choose, or feel what we feel. But the obscurity of our real motivations doesn't stop us from creating perfectly logical-sounding reasons for our actions, decisions, and feelings. ~ Dan Ariely
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Dan Ariely
We live in this bubble of ignorance. Most people know nothing about history, or the historical context of the traditions they still follow today. People do things without knowing why they're doing them. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
...our job sometimes is to divorce ourselves from the fact that I've got to constantly be gifting young people with tools and equip them with - I'm imparting lessons upon them. Sometimes it about, look you hate reading, my job is to figure out how to help you not hate reading. The rest of it we can get to, but I got to figure out how to get you engaged. In order to do that sometimes you got to pull back. Right. You got to put a little grease in the pot. Right. So if that means you've got to have them reading rap lyrics in your class, then that's what it is. If that means you got to have them reading comic books or the athletes reading Sports Illustrated and the sports section in ESPN Magazine, then that's what it is. Our job is not just - it's not to just promote literature, which is what we all do. Our job is to promote literacy and there's a difference. Right. There's a difference. Literacy is what will help them way more than what literature will do. ~ Jason Reynolds
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Jason Reynolds
I mean what they and their hired psychiatrists call delusional systems. Needless to say, 'delusions' are always officially defined. We do not have to worry about questions of real or unreal. They only talk out of expediency. It's the system that matters. How the data arrange themselves inside it. Some are consistent, others fall apart. ~ Thomas Pynchon
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Thomas Pynchon
Bad judgement happens usually because we take things into our own hands instead of letting the Lord tell us what we should do. We follow our own desires instead of His lead. ~ Marlene Banks
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Marlene Banks
I am completely in charge of the choices I make about what I am doing to lose weight and get healthy. And you know what? We all have this power. Don't be angry with me for something good I've done for myself. Be angry with yourself for not having the courage to do the same in your own life. ~ Jennifer Hudson
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Jennifer Hudson
The Congress is not willing to think about the long term. They act like activist shareholders, to use that phrase again. They're not thinking about what can we do that will make us richer, safer, and stronger next year, and the year after, and five and 10 years out. ~ Hillary Clinton
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Hillary Clinton
Following our inner guidance may feel risky and frightening at first, because we are no longer playing it safe, doing what we 'should' do, pleasing others, following rules, or deferring to outside authority. ~ Shakti Gawain
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Shakti Gawain
Finally, I spoke of the necessity of recounting frankly every human experience, including, I said emphatically, what seems unsayable and what we do not speak of even to ourselves. ~ Elena Ferrante
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Elena Ferrante
Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make good people good; it makes dead people alive. That's the difference between the gospel of Jesus Christ and every other world religion. All the others exhort their followers to save themselves by being good, by conforming their lives to whatever their worshiped deity is. But the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do. ~ Tullian Tchividjian
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us. ~ Julia Cameron
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Julia Cameron
Oh, Will," she said, "what can we do? Whatever can we do? I want to live with you forever. I want to kiss you and lie down with you and wake up with you every day of my life till I die, years and years and years away. I don't want a memory, just a memory…"

"No," he said, "memory's a poor thing to have. It's your own real hair and mouth and arms and eyes and hands I want. I didn't know I could ever love anything so much. Oh, Lyra, I wish this night would never end! If only we could stay here like this, and the world could stop turning, and everyone else could fall into a sleep… ~ Philip Pullman
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Philip Pullman
What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can't do anything, but it really isn't true. ~ Yoko Ono
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Yoko Ono
We need friends who can be with us in our loneliness, not people who will cheer us up so that we don't feel it. We need friends who get furious with us when we are not being real or true to ourselves, not who get angry when we don't do what they want us to do. We need friends who are not afraid of our pain or our joy. We need friends who are not invested in the way we look, what we do or what we feel, who are willing to see us without reference to themselves.
We need to become those friends ourselves.
The questions are always these: does this friendship lead you toward a fuller life or does it confine you? Does it bring you closer to your heart or take you further away? Does it open you or does it close you? Does it allow you to trust yourself further or does it make you frightened of yourself? Does it enlarge your life or does it make your life smaller? ~ Geneen Roth
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Geneen Roth
Anyone who says, "Here's my address,
write me a poem," deserves something in reply.
So I'll tell a secret instead:
poems hide. In the bottoms of our shoes,
they are sleeping. They are the shadows
drifting across our ceilings the moment
before we wake up. What we have to do
is live in a way that lets us find them. ~ Naomi Shihab Nye
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Naomi Shihab Nye
But if you believe in heaven then you have to believe someone's keeping score. And if someone's keeping score, if what we do really matters, then life ought to be fair. And I'm sorry it isn't. Shitty things happen to good people, and bad people never get what's coming to them. Don't tell me that there is a heaven as some sort of perverse reward for being good. That is bullshit of the highest caliber ~ Cassie Alexander
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Cassie Alexander
It's not that we didn't love one another- we did. I just think we didn't know how to be with one another anymore. No one had prepared us for this, for what to do when tragedy breaks up your family. We had no idea what to do when disease took hold, mental illness struck, when Ma died. And we weren't prepared for what happens when proximity no longer brings you together, and instead connecting became a matter of making an effort toward one another. We were doing the best we cold with what we had. ~ Liz Murray
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Liz Murray
We do not choose the one we fall in love with, and our perception of happiness is our own and is determined by what we experience ... ~ Julie Maroh
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Julie Maroh
Henry Scougal, the Scotsman who lived nearly three hundred years ago. He said that Christianity is 'the life of God in the soul of men'. In other words, what makes us Christian is not primarily what we do, but what God does to us. That is essential Christianity. This rebirth, this being born again is all God's action; that is not man's, it is God's. It is being born from above. It is the work of the Holy Spirit of God. Therefore, the essential thing about being a Christian is that one has thus been dealt with by God, and that is an experience. It is not only experience, of course; there is the element of understanding, and so many other things. But the vital thing is just this experience ~ Martin-Lloyd Jones
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Martin-Lloyd Jones
What we do to others will come back to us. You can't expect to be happy by causing unhappiness to others. ~ Sharon Gannon
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Sharon Gannon
And now the question: what do we do with the longing
for what can destroy us? ~ Mary Jo Bang
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Mary Jo Bang
So what causes men to become violent? I'll tell you, boredom, silly rules, muggy screws and pathetic governors. What else can we do - swallow it, wipe our mouths out. You have to fight for your rights. Not sit back and take it. ~ Stephen Richards
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Stephen Richards
Animals are better than humans. They aren't complicated or evil. They do what they have to do to survive. And they have emotions just as strong as we do. ~ E.L. Todd
Why We Do What We Do quotes by E.L. Todd
I wanted to get to the most essential aspect of my being, and look around for a while. I wanted to explore what I am in my most basic self. I wanted to chip away at all of the nonsense I have acquired through my twenty-nine years on this earth. I wanted to find truth. Thoreau went to the woods. I went to the mats. Jiu Jitsu has peeled the veil of daily life, and has shown me what lies beyond the curtain. We willingly accept the chains that circumstance forces upon us, and we grow to find comfort in them. We attach various fetters of day-to-day living to our being, and we do so with a smile. We accept these constraints for they come in the way of comfort. We accept conformity for it appears the path of least resistance. We strive toward the middle, and we run from ourselves. ~ Chris Matakas
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Chris Matakas
I was invited to visit a friend who was very sick ... When I came to him, he said to me, "Henri, here I am lying in this bed, and I don't even know how to think about being sick. My whole way of thinking about myself is in terms of action, in terms of doing things for people. My life is valuable because I've been able to do many things for many people. And suddenly, here I am, passive, and I can't do anything anymore."
As we talked I realized that he and many others were constantly thinking, "How much can I still do?" Somehow this man had learned to think about himself as a man who was worth only what he was doing. And so when he got sick, his hope seemed to rest on the idea that he might get better and return to what he had been doing. If the spirit of this man was dependent on how much he would still be able to do, what did I have to say to him? ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
It is not so much what we know that is important, as what we are and what we do. ~ Spencer W. Kimball
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do. ~ Keith Richards
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Keith Richards
What do you look at while you're making up your mind? Ours is not a reflective culture, we do no raise our eyes up to the hills. Most of the time we decide the critical things while looking at the linoleum floor of an institutional corridor, or whispering hurriedly in a waiting room with a television blatting nonsense. ~ Thomas Harris
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Thomas Harris
Everybody has asked the question ... "What shall we do with the Negro?" I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! ~ Frederick Douglass
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Frederick Douglass
Now pay attention to this. God is nameless for no one can either speak of him or know him. Therefore a pagan master says that what we can know or say of the First Cause reflects ourselves more than it does the First Cause, for this transcends all speech and all understanding . . . He is being beyond being: he is a nothingness beyond being. Therefore St. Augustine says: 'The finest thing that we can say of God is to be silent concerning him from the wisdom of inner riches.' Be silent therefore, and do not chatter about God, for by chattering about him, you tell lies and commit a sin. If you wish to be perfect and without sin, then do not prattle about God. Also you should not wish to understand anything about God, for God is beyond all understanding. A master says: If I had a God that I could understand, I would not regard him as God. If you understand anything about him, then he is not in it, and by understanding something of him, you fall into ignorance, and by falling into ignorance, you become like an animal since the animal part in creatures is that which is unknowing. If you do not wish to become like an animal therefore, do not pretend that you understand anything of the ineffable God. ~ Meister Eckhart
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Meister Eckhart
It's not intentions that matter. It's actions. We are what we do and say, not what we intend to. ~ Kristin Hannah
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Kristin Hannah
SOMETIMES WHAT WE WANT BUT CANT GET IT, EVEN WE DO NOT TRY TO GET IT. AT LAST WE SATISFIED JUST FAILURE. ~ RUPEE
Why We Do What We Do quotes by RUPEE
If we do not love God and His Word what difference does it make if we love anything at all? ~ Martin Luther
Why We Do What We Do quotes by Martin Luther
It is not where we are that matters nor what we have, it is what we do with where we are and what we have. ~ Sonia Rumzi
