“Frustration is the result of failed expectations.”

“One cannot expect positive results from an educational or political action program which fails to respect the particular view of the world held by the people. Such a program constitutes cultural invasion, good intentions notwithstanding.”

“Perhaps the most devastating and damaging thing that can happen to someone is to fail to fulfill his potential. A kind of gnawing emptiness, longing, frustration, and displaced anger overwhelms people when this occurs. Whether the anger is turned inward on the self, or outward towards others, dreadful destruction results.”

“All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail.”

“Frustration is a function of our expectations, and our expectations are often a reflection of the social mirror rather than our own values & priorities”

“Push hard and expect rapid results.”
