Instant Gratification Quotes - Page 2

• We delude ourselves if we believe that skilled behavior is easy, that it can come about without effort. We forget the years of tuning, of learning and practice it takes to be skilled at even the most fundamental of human activities: eating, walking, talking, reading, and writing. It is tempting to want instant gratification - immediate expert performance and experiential pleasure - but the truth is that this primarily occurs only after considerable amounts of accretion and tuning.

• Pen-and-paper role-playing is live theater and computer games are television. People want the convenience and instant gratification of turning on the TV rather than getting dressed up and going out to see a live play. In the same way, the computer is a more immediately accessible way to play games.

• Modern man is conditioned to expect instant gratification, but any success or triumph realized quickly, with only marginal effort, is necessarily shallow. Meaningful achievement takes time, hard work, persistence, patience, proper intent and self-awareness. The path to success is punctuated by failure, consolidation, and renewed effort.

• I think television is moving more into movies, particularly with serialization and almost cinematic proportions and expectations. A show like 'Game of Thrones' is a perfect example of that, or even a show like 'The Wire,' which isn't all about instant gratification it's about inviting someone into the long experience of television the way you'd be invited into a theater for two hours. So I think in that way, and the quality of writing in television is probably much better than most film writing.

• El sueño del amor romántico se toma más en serio en Norteamérica que en cualquier otra parte del mundo, por eso creemos en la fidelidad y por eso creemos también en la infidelidad. También es, por supuesto, lo que hace que nuestra tasa de divorcios sea tan alta como es. El enamoramiento a primera vista y la gratificación instantánea forman parte del mundo en que vivimos, así que hay gente que cree firmemente en la fidelidad. Sólo que no creen en ella por mucho tiempo.

• You'd hope that no writing about music could supersede the music itself. But I do think that blogs mirror the way that we are listening. It comes at you fast and it's timely and then five minutes later we're on to something else. It caters to our desire for instant gratification. And I think blogs also have fluidity that's exciting. You have a lot of real enthusiastic music fans for the most part that are writing sometimes for a large audience, and I think certain blogs have a little too much power over what someone likes or doesn't like.

• Uno de los problemas de la organización en el Norte, en los países ricos, es que la gente tiende a pensar -incluso los activistas- que hace falta una gratificación instantánea. Se oye constantemente: "Mira, fui a una manifestación y no paramos la guerra, así que ¿para qué volver a hacerlo?".

• There is not way that you can have a decent life as a man if you aren't awake and aware every moment. Show up for your own life. Don't pass your days in a stupor, content to swallow whatever watery ideas modern society may bottle feed you through the media, satisfied to slumber through life in an instant gratification sugar coma. The most extraordinary gift you've been given is your own humanity, which is about consciousness. So honor that consciousness.

• I wrote about Freud and the process of sublimation, which is when you learn to stop breast-feeding, or stop going to the toilet whenever you want to. It's about learning to repress a desire for instant gratification. And in a repressed society, artists fulfil a sense of harking back to instant gratification, or immediate expression, by doing things that function on the edge of society, or outside of what is conventionally accepted.

• La alcachofa es ante todo la expresión vegetal de la vida civilizada, de la visión a largo plazo, del placer creciente por anticipación y crescendo. No es de extrañar que antaño se la considerara afrodisíaca. No tenía cabida en el mundo de gratificación instantánea de los trolls. No apela a la mentalidad de carne y dos verduras.

• 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.

• ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre las personas que se sienten exitosas y las que sienten que han fracasado? La respuesta es la mentalidad: Si aprendes y creces a partir del fracaso, de repente se convierte en un activo personal. La gente que tiene éxito no quiere gratificación instantánea. No piensan en alcanzar un punto de éxito y no volver a trabajar. En su lugar, se preguntan: "¿Cómo puedo mejorar y seguir haciéndolo de forma constante a lo largo del tiempo?

• Modern society will find no solution to the ecological problem unless it takes a serious look at its lifestyle. In many parts of the world society is given to instant gratification and consumerism while remaining indifferent to the damage which these attitudes cause. Simplicity, moderation and discipline, as well as a spirit of sacrifice, must become part of everyday life, lest all suffer the negative consequences of the careless habits of a few.
