Gratification Quotes - Page 7

• I hadn't had that much time practicing behind the drum kit. I've spent an inordinate amount of time listening to and programming drum parts, but it's completely different. One of the beautiful things about using a sampler is since you are so detached from traditional technique, you're forced to have a macro perspective of the project. With an instrument, it's the opposite. With drums specifically, there's nothing that provides more instant gratification and nothing that's funner to play.

• I feel a huge gratification out of being right. To see my projects connect in a way in which the audience is passionate is a huge compliment. For me it's like, if a person is ambitious enough, they run in a tunnel that doesn't end...And I learn things about myself all the time.

• I am very much in the instant-gratification camp. I am too much of an actor not to be. I am used to doing my work and having someone comment immediately. So I think that I'm a little hooked on that gratification structure.

• I enjoy it all: performIng, doing TV, movies, comedy, drama, stand-up, animation voicework, singing, but you get that instant gratification from stand-up because it's your own commentary and you get to see the reaction from the audience that's right there in front of you. I also love coming up with characters and watching people embrace them and enjoy them.

• Me encanta el juego. Creo que es un gran juego porque descubres muchas cosas sobre ti mismo. Pones a prueba tu temple cada semana. No hay zonas grises, hay gratificación instantánea y no hay informes trimestrales. No sólo lo hacemos un poco mejor. Cada domingo sabes lo que ha pasado.

• All the seven deadly sins are self destroying, morbid appetites, but in their early stages at least, lust and gluttony, averice and sloth know some gratification, while anger and pride have power, even though that power eventually destroys itself. Envy is impotent, numbed with fear, never ceasing in its appetite, and it knows no gratification, but endless self torment. It has the ugliness of a trapped rat, which gnaws its own foot in an effort to escape.

• La integridad, la honradez y el honor pueden no dar recompensas o gratificaciones inmediatas, y pueden poner en peligro la vida (por ejemplo, ser un soplón o entregar pruebas del Estado). La ausencia de integridad, honradez y honor no siempre conlleva castigo o desprecio, y puede engrandecer la vida (los conspiradores y tramposos suelen ganar poder y riqueza). Por tanto, la moralidad debe ser su propia recompensa.

• Así que la Psicología Positiva se toma en serio la brillante esperanza de que si te encuentras atrapado en el aparcamiento de la vida, con pocos y efímeros placeres, con mínimas gratificaciones y sin sentido, hay un camino de salida. Este camino te lleva a través de la campiña del placer y la gratificación, hasta la altiplanicie de la fortaleza y la virtud y, finalmente, a las cumbres de la realización duradera: el sentido y el propósito.

• Why should we desire the destruction of human passions? Take passions from human beings and what is left? The great object should be not to destroy passions, but to make them obedient to the intellect. To indulge passion to the utmost is one form of intemperance - to destroy passion is another. The reasonable gratification of passion under the domination of the intellect is true wisdom and perfect virtue.

• When things start becoming second nature, I get a little paranoid because I feel like maybe my craft isn't evolving. I get a lot of gratification when I do something that's really quick. Like if you've got someone who's really twitchy, like Lady Gaga. I have never in my life seen someone move that much in a chair. I said, "Look, your hair's knackered, you wear wigs all the time. Let's cut it off." It took 10 minutes.

• I think human beings have an innate desire to help each other. And whether you're in medicine or anything else, if you see someone that you can help...you get a gratification from doing it. In fact, I think that is perhaps the most important, you might say, fabric that holds the society together.
