In the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding on the back of the tiger ended up inside.

- John F. Kennedy

 

The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.

- Edmund Burke

 

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

- Margaret Thatcher

 

Politics gives guys so much power that they tend to behave badly around women. And I hope I never get into that.

- Bill Clinton

haha, I guess. :P A Dean of a professional faculty has decided to pick upon my friend to prevent her from graduating in December, postponing her graduation until May. The Deanis attempting to abuse power, has a personal agenda and has a conflic t of interest and is about to put the university into disrepute and in addition to the adverse publicity that can befall the university and faculty (a la U/A recently), if required, there will be a 7 figure lawsuit against the Dean personally and the unibersity, a venerable academic institution that does not need its reputation besmerched by a douchebag dean playing power games for stirctly personal reasons where the facts do NOT support the Dean, rather the student. I am stickhandling the strategy and have every reason to believe that the Dean will be overturned in record time to prevent an injustice and to mitigate/precent harm to the repuation of this venerable and esteemed educational institution, let alone the furtgher harm from a lawsuit where in the glare ofdunlight the Dean will be interrogated on discovery under oath where telling lies will not be an option! haha

 

So, yes, abuse of power is the theme and correcting the abuse is a priority to occur preferably behind closed doors, or time for another university scandal.

 

Thank you for asking observant lady. ;)

Here's a big one. But I feel the exact same way and want to share this quote.

 

"I don't like honors. I'm appreciated for the work that I did, and for people who appreciate it, and I notice that other physicists use my work. I don't need anything else. I don't think there's any sense to anything else. I don't see that it makes any point that someone in the Swedish Academy decides that this work is noble enough to receive a prize. I've already got the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it. Those are the real things. The honors are unreal to me. I don't believe in honors. It bothers me, honors. Honors is epilets, honors is uniforms. My poppa brought me up this way. I can't stand it, it hurts me. When I was in High School, one of the first honors I got was to be a member of the Arista, which is a group of kids who got good grades. Everybody wanted to be a member of the Arista. I discovered that what they did in their meetings was to sit around to discuss who else was worthy to join this wonderful group that we are. OK So we sat around trying to decide who would get to be allowed into this Arista. This kind of thing bothers me psychologically for one or another reason. I don't understand myself. Honors, and from that day to this, always bothered me. I had trouble when I became a member of the National Academy of Science, and I had ultimately to resign. Because there was another organization, most of whose time was spent in choosing who was illustrious enough to be allowed to join us in our organization. Including such questions as: 'we physicists have to stick together because there's a very good chemist that they're trying to get in and we haven't got enough room...'. What's the matter with chemists? The whole thing was rotten . Because the purpose was mostly to decide who could have this honor. OK? I don't like honors."

-Richard Feynman

I have a hard time interpreting poetry. Can you tell me what it means?

 

Your actions are your responsibility and can't be changed.

 

I think... I was never a good interpreter of any literature. Sometimes poetry will remind me of certain moments in my life, but mean something 100% different
