“[Self]-distrust manifests blatantly in the judge's reaction to your experiences of expansion. 'Expansion' here refers to situations when you try something new, success at something you're never done before, stop a self-destructive habit, speak up in your own defense, recognize a truth about yourself, take on a new responsibility, and so on. The expansion is a shift in your sense of who you are or who you have taken yourself to be: who you are becomes a little bigger, includes a little more than it did before.What does the judge do with these moments? Most everyone has experienced some sort of contraction after they expand: some letdown, some fear creeping in, some shame about being bigger, some withdrawal from the expansion. In one sense, this is part of a natural cycle of expansion and contraction. However, the contraction is seldom seen as part of the normal flow of the unfolding soul.”
Byron Brown“People don't read anymore. And, when they do, they don't read books like this one, but instead read books that depress them, because those books are seen as important. Somehow, the Librarians have successfully managed to convince most people in the Hushlands that they shouldn't read anything that isn't boring.It comes down to Biblioden the Scrivener's great vision for the world — a vision in which people never do anything abnormal, never dream, and never experience anything strange. His minions teach people to stop reading fun books, and instead focus on fantasy novels. That's what I call them, because these books keep people trapped. Keep them inside the nice little fantasy that they consider to be the 'real' world. A fantasy that tells them they don't need to try something new.After all, trying new things can be difficult.”
Brandon Sanderson, Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones“The vast majority of you are going to close this tab without, even for a single moment, entertaining the thought of writing something. Step outside your comfort zone and try something new. Learning the fine rationalist art of CoZE (comfort zone expansion) is a really important life skill, and putting your writing online is a low-risk way to do that. Don't try to cop out with "I don't have any stories." Baloney. Everyone has stories; write up a memory that's important to you. And don't even try to tell me, "Oh, but I don't know how to write!" Neither did I when I started; I learned by doing. So please, set the excuses aside, put something up on the web, and share it with the rest of us. When you do, drop me a PM; I'll leave you your first review, but you have to publish something first. Well? What are you waiting for? Seriously. Go write one sentence of a new story, write now.”
David K. Storrs“What better time to try something new than when you have nothing to lose.”
Jules Barnard, Deep Blue“If you want something different out of life, you have to be prepared to try something new.”
Karon Waddell“In our own lives, we will try something new and, finding that it isn't easy for us, we conclude we don't have a talent for it.”
Geoff Colvin“Only locks in life are what you think you know, but don’t. Accept your ignorance and try something new.”
Dennis Vickers“Try something new out of your comfort zone. If you lose you will get an experienced, and If you win you will get an achievement.”
Salman Mansuri“When “We’ve always done it that way” is replaced with “Let’s try something new,” associations will leap to greatness.”
Holly Duckworth, Ctrl+Alt+Believe: Reboot Your Association For Success“Every time we've moved ahead in IBM, it was because someone was willing to take a chance, put his head on the block, and try something new.”
Thomas J. Watson
