Worn Out Status Quotes

Like a scared child singing to himself in the dark, most people sooth themselves With the worn-out phrase: 'Life goes on…' without being able to remember anymore Why should it go on? Few are those who dare to ask: How could life go on under such lifeless conditions?

Hence is it clear that genuine contemplation is incompatible with complacency and with smug acceptance of prejudiced opinions. It is not mere passive acquiescence in the status quo, as some would like to believe—for this would reduce it to the level of spiritual anesthesia. Contemplation is no pain-killer. What a holocaust takes place in this steady burning to ashes of old worn-out words, clichés, slogans, rationalizations! The

Every Angel recruit comes to his initiation wearing a new pair of Levis and a matching jacket with the sleeves cut off and a spotless emblem on the back. The ceremony varies from one chapter to another but the main feature is always the defiling of the initiate’s new uniform. A bucket of dung and urine will be collected during the meeting, then poured on the newcomer’s head in a solemn baptismal. Or he will take off his clothes and stand naked while the bucket of slop is poured over them and the others stomp it in. These are his „originals,” to be worn every day until they rot. The Levi’s are dipped in oil, then hung out to dry in the sun – or left under the motorcycle at night to absorb the crankcase drippings. When they become too ragged to be functional, they are worn over other, newer Levi’s. Many of the jackets are so dirty that the colors are barely visible, but they aren’t discarded until they literally fall apart. The condition of the originals is a sign of status. It takes a year or two before they get ripe enough to make a man feel he has really made the grade.

Latent Needs The larger and more significant portion of the market is comprised of prospects who do have needs for your product or service, but haven’t yet recognized those needs. In QBS, we say that these prospects have latent needs. Latent needs are needs that do exist but haven’t yet surfaced as problems or desires. Prospects with latent needs fail to recognize that they are no longer satisfied with the status quo. As an example, suppose you and I were standing beside your car when suddenly we noticed that one of your tires was worn down to the cords. Instantly, you would have a need for new tires. The question is, did you have a need for new tires yesterday? Sure you did. The tread on your tire didn’t wear itself down overnight. But until you actually recognized the existence of a problem, your need for new tires was latent. It existed, although you were not aware of it at the time. This is essentially what happened when Brent called me. I absolutely had a need for septic tank improvement products, but my need was a latent need. Salespeople encounter prospects with latent needs all the time—especially prospects who say things like: “I don’t need life insurance because I’m not planning to die any time soon.” Or, “We don’t have time to evaluate new technology, because we’re too busy putting out fires.” Here’s my personal favorite: “We can’t afford sales training right now, because sales have been slow.

It takes courage to rest in a world where exhaustion is worn as a badge of honor and considered a status symbol.

Amongst the most impressive pieces by which Gustav Freytag, in Bilder aus der deutschen Vergangenheit, showed the woes of the German people in the 17th century and its lifelessness and rigidity after the Thirty Years War, is the cutting satire on Ratio status of 1666, which he reprinted. In this a young and promising counsellor of the ruler is taken into the secret chambers where the arcana status are to be found: the cloaks of State, masks of State, spectacles of State, eye dust, etc., which are used in the work. Cloaks of State, beautifully trimmed on the outside but shabby on the inside, with names like salus populi, bonum publicum, coservatio religionis, etc., are used when one goes to meet the representatives of the people, when one wishes to make the subjects agree to pay subsidies, or when, under the pretext of a false doctrine, one wants to drive someone out of house and home. One completely threadbare cloak, which is in daily use, is called Intentio, good intentions; this is worn, when one is laying new insupportable burdens on the subjects, impoverishing them with forced labour, or inaugurating unnecessary wars. With the various spectacles of State, midges can be made into elephants, or little kindnesses on part of the ruler can be made into supreme acts of mercy. There is an iron instrument with which the ruler can enlarge the gullets of his counsellors, so that they can swallow great pumpkins. Finally, a ball of knotted wire, furnished with sharp needles and heated by a fire within, so that it draws tears from the eyes of the beholder, represents the Principe of Machiavelli.

when a man sells his independence of thought for money or status, without realizing it he also sells his capacity for independence of thought; and, like the worn-out columnists and commentators, he must play the same old record over and over, because he has no capacity for taking a fresh point of view.

My stubborn reluctance to fly was further evidence to my father of my status as second-rate adventurer and thus second-rate child. This battle over flight raged for my entire childhood, but airplanes never played as prominent a role in my life as they did from the fourth birthday of my son, Fred, until three months before his fifth. For those nine months, I lived and breathed jets, helicopters and fighter planes. I called my son Orville at his demand. I stalked appliance stores for refrigerator boxes that could stand in for crude, wobbly airplanes—cardboard boxes that Fred ate in, played in and slept in when I was simply too worn-out to fight him. As you can imagine, my father, Captain Lance “the Silver Eagle” Whitman, was thrilled with my son’s obsession. For those nine months, I was elevated to the first-class status I had craved my entire life.

Meanwhile men stopped wearing togas, and instead put on an item of Greek clothing called a ‘synthesis’ – we don’t know too much about how this garment looked, but it does seem to have been colourful and it was certainly out of the ordinary. Citizens and slaves alike also donned a ‘pilleus’, a type of cap that was normally worn only by freed slaves, so that a social status that had previously been obvious from clothing alone was, at least partially, obscured.

High-Quality Verified USA Facebook Accounts for Your Brand Need help or to confirm your order? Contact us:  WhatsApp: ‪+1 (227) 236-9368  Telegram: @usaservicepoint  Email: usaservicepoint@gmail.com In the busy world of US social media, building trust on Facebook feels like climbing a steep hill. New brands often struggle to stand out amid algorithm changes that favor pages with real history and fans. A high-quality verified USA Facebook account goes beyond just a blue checkmark; it means an active profile with years of posts, steady likes from real US users, and a clean record that matches your target crowd. You want assets that boost your reach without starting from zero. These accounts come with built-in credibility, like a well-worn storefront that draws in locals right away. But remember, any move to get one must follow the rules. Facebook's guidelines stress fair play, so focus on legal paths like business deals or team-ups to avoid trouble. This guide shows you smart ways to find and use these tools for your brand's growth. Understanding the Value Proposition of Pre-Established USA Facebook Assets Why New Pages Struggle for Initial Traction and Credibility Starting a fresh Facebook page hits a wall fast. Algorithms push content from established spots higher in feeds, leaving new ones with low views. Stats show new pages get under 5% organic reach at first, per recent social media reports. Without likes or shares, it looks empty to users. People skip pages that seem fake or quiet. You end up spending more on ads just to get noticed. Think of it as planting a seed in rocky soil. It takes time to grow roots, while buying into a mature tree gives shade right away. Defining "High-Quality": Metrics Beyond Verification Status A top verified USA Facebook account shines in several ways. Look for one at least two years old with regular posts and comments. Engagement rates above 2% signal real interest from followers. The blue or gray badge proves it's legit for businesses. Tie it to a domain you own for extra trust. Followers should match your US audience, like city folks for local shops or nationwide for big brands. Don't settle for numbers alone. Check if interactions feel natural, not forced. This setup helps your content spread faster and builds loyalty from day one. Risk Mitigation: The Legal and Policy Landscape of Account Transfer Facebook bans selling accounts outright in its terms. But business buys or handovers can work if done right. Always pick sources that follow rules to dodge bans. Do your homework on the seller's history. Use tools like Facebook's own insights to spot red flags. Aim for transfers that keep the page's good name intact. Legal experts note that compliant deals, like merging companies, protect you. Get advice from a lawyer to cover bases. This keeps your investment safe and growing. Channels and Methods for Sourcing Verified US Facebook Accounts Leveraging Reputable Digital Asset Brokers and Marketplaces Good brokers make finding verified USA Facebook accounts easier. Seek ones with escrow to hold funds until you check everything. They vet sellers and share account details upfront. Look for listings with full histories, like post logs and fan breakdowns. Read reviews from past buyers to gauge trust. Sites like trusted online markets often list options with US focus. Start by searching "verified US Facebook pages for sale" on safe platforms. Ask questions about origin and rules compliance. This cuts risks and speeds your search. Strategic Partnerships and Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Team up with a small business that has a strong page. In a buyout, their Facebook asset comes along as part of the deal. This fits for brands eyeing local US markets. Say you run a coffee chain and spot a retiring cafe with 10,000 loyal followers. A merger lets you take over smoothly. It builds on their goodwill without cold starts.
