Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive,

Summary

This quote highlights the dual nature of statistics. On one hand, statistics provide suggestive insights, like a bikini that hints at someone's appearance. They can reveal patterns, trends, and correlations, which can be useful in making informed decisions. However, just as a bikini only shows a fraction of someone's overall physicality, statistics do not provide a complete picture. They can conceal important contextual information or underlying factors that may drastically change the interpretation or impact of the data. Thus, this quote emphasizes the importance of critically analyzing statistics and considering what is hidden or not revealed to better understand the complete story.

Use a gyroscope to demonstrate how, over time, we become fix

Use a gyroscope to demonstrate how, over time, we become fixed in our ways, personalities, and, as a mature person, psychologically resistant to change. With EFFORT, however, we can make changes. We are not today exactly what we were yesterday. We are almost imperceptibly different. We do change with time and we can control to an extent the direction of the changes.

Never write an advertisement which you wouldn't want your own family to read. You wouldn't tell lies to your own wife. Don't tell them to mine. Do as you would be done by. If you tell lies about a product, you will be found out -- either by the Government, which will prosecute you, or by the consumer, who will punish you by not buying your product a second time. Good products can be sold by honest advertising. If you don't think the product is good, you have no business to be advertising it.

To work and create 'for nothing', to sculpture in clay, to k

To work and create 'for nothing', to sculpture in clay, to know that one's creation has no future, to see one's work destroyed in a day while being aware that fundamentally this has no more importance than building for centuries- this is the difficult wisdom that absurd thought sanctions. Performing these two tasks simultaneously, negating on one hand and magnifying on the other, is the way open to the absurd creator. He must give the void its colors.
