Quick Fixes Quotes

• Everybody wants the quick fix, but it doesn't happen overnight. You have to be willing to put it out there. I call it 'the secret to being an overnight success,' which means there really isn't a such thing as an overnight success. ! The secret is you work really hard for 10 years, and then you become an overnight success.

• In short, with each of the thousand-and-one problems that present themselves in family life, our choice is between controlling and teaching, between creating an atmosphere of distrust and one of trust, between setting an example of power and helping children to learn responsibility, between quick-fix parenting and the kind that's focused on long-term goals.

• The evolution of one's own soul is a process. It's not a quick fix. It's not a five-day workshop. It's a lifetime process where we let go, discover and then allow for futures to come into existence.

• La publicidad no causa adicciones. Pero sí crea un clima de negación y contribuye poderosamente a la creencia en la solución rápida, la gratificación instantánea, el mundo de los sueños y la evasión de todo dolor y aburrimiento. Todo esto forma parte de lo que creen los adictos y de lo que esperamos cuando buscamos nuestra sustancia particular..... La adicción comienza con la esperanza de que algo "ahí fuera" pueda llenar instantáneamente el vacío interior. La publicidad gira en torno a esta falsa esperanza.

• In a world where people are hungry for quick fixes and sound bites, for instant gratification, there is not patience for the long. Slow rebuilding process: implementing after school programs, hiring more community workers to act as mentors, adding more job training programs in marginalized areas

• Everyone is looking for the quick fix, but what they really need is fitness. People who look for fixes stop doing what's right when pressure is relieved. People who pursue fitness do what they should do no matter what the circumstances are.

• Our society and our organizations have learned to value masculine, 'quick-fix' traits in leaders. In a primitive society, a rural society, or even the industrial society of the early 1990s, quick fixes worked out all right. But they are less likely to work in a complex society. We need to look at long-range outcomes now. Service and patience are what can keep things running effectively today and women can contribute a lot in both of these areas.

• La era moderna se ha caracterizado por un espíritu prometeico, una energía inquieta que se alimenta de récords de velocidad y atajos, sin tener en cuenta el pasado, sin preocuparse del futuro, existiendo sólo para el momento y la solución rápida. Los ritmos terrenales que caracterizan un modo de vida más pastoral se han dejado de lado para dar paso a la vía rápida de una existencia urbanizada. Perdidos en un mar de perpetua transición tecnológica, el hombre y la mujer modernos se encuentran cada vez más alejados de la coreografía ecológica del planeta.

• Probablemente haya un alto porcentaje de nativos americanos, así como de no indios, que piensen que participar en esta gran economía americana que has mencionado es y se ha convertido en una receta para el desastre a largo plazo, porque se ha respondido a los problemas sociales y medioambientales con una mentalidad de droga, es decir, cualquier cosa por la solución rápida. Y se ha entrenado al público para que siempre crea que está a una compra de la felicidad.

• I went through a period when I was about 19 where I'd go tanning with my boyfriend in tanning beds. Yes, this was actually a thing we used to do together. They were not my friend. I had no idea what I was doing. We all went in the early 2000s. Needless to say, I don't go anymore. If I need a quick fix, I get a spray tan - though it's never a good idea for me with my fair skin.

• Some people thought that if you put pressure on kids, parents, and teachers and schools, the pressure alone would produce results. It appealed to people who think the quick fix for education is to threaten people. It's not a left-right division.

• We have to think in a very different sense than the way we think now. We think in terms of quick fixes, that solutions will come out of a few protest demonstrations, and calling upon the government to do something. And we can keep trying to do that, and it won't work.

• Cuando se despliega una operación de mantenimiento de la paz, es en apoyo de un proceso político, forma parte de un enfoque integrado. Está ahí para ayudar cuando un Estado se ha desmoronado y para ayudar a ese Estado a recuperar algún tipo de equilibrio. No hay soluciones rápidas.

• We want players here who are going to be here for the long term. Players who buy houses here, who settle in the area. It's a brilliant club, great supporters but we want players to come here to be part of that community rather than being ships in the night having a last pay day at Ipswich... we want to build for the future rather than do a quick fix because I think it's going to be a long-term job.
