Self-satisfaction

DR. HUSH For myself, if I gave the impression of any feeling of self-satisfaction, it was certainly in the sense that I think we can say that there is a glimmer of light in the darkness. And in chemistry we must be grateful for the smallest spark. I have stressed also that our present theoretical approaches to rate calculations have been almost entirely confined to outer-sphere processes, and that the task of formulating reliable theories for inner-sphere transfers will be a formidable one. [Pg.330]

Fullness of self encourages a focus on self-satisfaction. Many only children tend to be very self-directed, dedicated to becoming involved in interests and activities that personally matter to them, able to initiate that involvement on their own. "I love to read when I get home from school, so my parents let me have this time alone."... [Pg.50]

To support self-satisfaction if the child wants, give sufficient time and space at home for him or her to cultivate those interests and activities that personally matter. [Pg.51]

Jupiter conjunct natal Jupiter Jupiter circles back to its birth position every 12 years, renewing your optimism. This can be a lucky, adventurous time during which travel, education, and philosophical explorations bring fulfillment. Your efforts to brush past old boundaries pay off, and you have some fun along the way. But beware Jupiter can also promote self-satisfaction, laziness, and smug indifference. [Pg.239]

The PR prided itself, not only on the production of man-made fibers and plastics, but also on the sheer number of new chemical compounds. It showed their growth, as registered by Chemical Abstracts during the second half of the twentieth century, in a picture of self-satisfaction and hubris. Chemists prided themselves on the proliferation of chemicals and the increased density of the chemosphere.26... [Pg.351]

Incidentally, the sphere and the square finally visit zero-dimensional Pointland where they hear the sole resident singing hymns of self-praise It fills all Space and what It fills. It is. What It thinks, that It utters and what It utters, that It hears and It itself is Thinker, Utterer, Hearer, Thought, Word, Audition It is the One and yet the All in All. Ah, the happiness, ah, the happiness of Being. Have you ever met this type of person Such self-satisfaction and isolation are inimical to all human endeavors including science. [Pg.592]

In other woids, Onan s act was not masturbation but coitus interruptus, withdrawal of the penis from the vagina before ejaculation. His crime was not self-abuse or sexual self-satisfaction, but refusal to comply with the law of the Levirate and beget a son with his brother s widow. [Pg.182]

The project manager s incentive is to make his project go with the expectation of moving with it to full operating status and becoming the general manager of a new division. He will also have the respect and envy of his peers and the rest of the egobuilding rewards that are so important. He will also have the self-satisfaction that comes with success in face of adversity. [Pg.184]

Catastrophic accidents occur only rarely. This means that most employees will not have actually experienced such an event. Ironically, this lack of direct experience can be a particular problem for those conducting hazards analyses at those facilities that have excellent safety and environmental records. Managers and workers in such organizations do not necessarily become complacent but they may become a little too comfortable and satisfied with what they have achieved. They have trouble thinking the unthinkable. Conversely, on those plants that have witnessed a serious accident within the last few years there can be no denial that such events happen. For example. Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) leaders will often hear remarks from highly experienced team members such as Tve been here 14 years, and I ve never seen that happen... with the unspoken implication, ... therefore it cannot happen. It is the job of the PHA leader to crack that shell of unjustified self-satisfaction. [Pg.150]

When safety representatives were asked about the attractions of the job, 11 of 15 said that there was none. Some of these took a pragmatic approach to the job, a typical response being It is an unpopular job although it is a necessary one . Two expressed an interest in safety and another replied that the occasional day out was an attraction. The most cited attraction was that they derived some self-satisfaction from the work ... [Pg.172]

Self-satisfaction in getting something done, (interviewee 90)... [Pg.172]

The answer to the third question is also clear in this example. For instance, when a first baseman executes a double play by catching a line drive and then tagging out a runner who has left first base, he receives accolades from his team and the fans, not to mention considerable self-satisfaction. Furthermore, in professional baseball, the player s financial success is closely tied to his performance. [Pg.170]

In 316-41 Isaiah turns from the leading men of the city to its leading women, and finds incarnate in them the spirit of arrogant self-satisfaction which is the death warrant of the city itself. ... [Pg.129]
