Quote by Jonathan Sacks

Some years ago there was a study to discover the most stressful occupation. It turned out not to be the head of a large business, football manager or prime minister, but rather: bus driver.

Some years ago there was a study to discover the most stress

Summary

This quote highlights an unexpected finding from a study conducted to determine the most stressful occupation. Contrary to popular belief, it revealed that bus drivers experience more stress than high-profile positions like business executives, football managers, or even prime ministers. This insight challenges societal assumptions and sheds light on the often overlooked challenges faced by bus drivers, possibly stemming from factors like dealing with traffic, public responsibility for passenger safety, and managing unpredictable daily schedules. It serves as a reminder to acknowledge and appreciate the stressors faced by individuals in seemingly ordinary roles.

We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the gap between racism, sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but hopefully what these games taught us is that if women are given an opportunity on an equal playing field the possibilities for women are endless.

It always does seem to me that I am doing more work than I should do. It is not that I object to the work, mind you; I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me: the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.

Belief is always most desired, most pressingly needed where

Belief is always most desired, most pressingly needed where there is a lack of will, for the will, as emotion of command, is the distinguishing characteristic of sovereignty and power. That is to say, the less a person knows how to command, the more urgent is his desire for one who commands, who commands sternly - a God, a prince, a caste, a physician, a confessor, a dogma, a party consciene. From whence perhaps it could be inferred that the two world religions, Buddhism and Christianity, might well have had the cause of their rise, and especially of their rapid extension, in an extraordinary malady of the will.

I am now convinced that I have never been much in love; for had I really experienced that pure and elevating passion, I should at present detest his very name, and wish him all manner of evil. But my feelings are not only cordial towards him; they are even impartial towards her. I cannot find out that I hate her at all, or that I am in the least unwilling to think her a very good sort of girl. There can be no love in all this.
