Zitat des Tages über Modeerscheinungen / Fads:
American education has been littered with failed fads and foolish ideas for the past century.
Fit no stereotypes. Don't chase the latest management fads. The situation dictates which approach best accomplishes the team's mission.
Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.
I believe in a kind of fidelity to your own early ideas; it's a kind of antagonism in me to prevailing fads.
Fads are the kiss of death. When the fad goes away, you go with it.
As a recording engineer - someone who is deeply embroiled in the process of making records every day - you see trends and fads run through the social organization of the population of musicians in the same way that they would run through a high school.
I'm a voracious reader, and I like to explore all sorts of writing without prejudice and without paying any attention to labels, conventions or silly critical fads.
I don't diet, I don't do fads, I've just decided to not eat carbs. So no more bread and pasta for the month. I can't live without chocolate, though. I've always got a bar in my handbag. It has to be 72%. Any less and it's too sweet, any more and it's inedible. Like I said, I'm very particular.
You go through these little phases and fads, and it never turns out the way you think it's going to turn out.
All human societies go through fads in which they temporarily either adopt practices of little use or else abandon practices of considerable use.
In an age of never-ending health fads, it's comforting to learn that one of the healthiest activities you can do has existed for millennia. It's called reading. Yes, books are not just entertaining or educational: they can also improve your mental health.
