My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.

Take your job seriously, BUT don't take their complaints personally. If you take it personally you'll get upset and lose your edge. If you take it too personally, you'll lose your edge and your job. If you take it seriously -- it's you with them. If you take it personally, it's you against them. What steps can you take to ensure keeping your cool?

Jeffrey Gitomer

Take events in your life seriously, take work seriously, but don't take yourself seriously, or you'll become affected, pompous and boring.

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go. Science is all metaphor. In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show. If you don't like what you are doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.

Timothy Leary

Robert Manne

It's so important that we take auditions less seriously, take your work seriously, but take the industry a whole lot less seriously because it is so fickle.

Sian Clifford

What the Iranians have said is, "we will wipe Israel off the face of the map, and we will bring death to America." When someone points a gun at your head and loads it, by God, you ought to take them seriously, and we need to take that seriously.

Mike Huckabee

If you take yourself too seriously, you've got no chance in this job. You cannot take yourself seriously.

William Regal

Let's take fashion seriously, but not ourselves so seriously. Or reverse that, maybe don't take fashion so seriously, but take yourself seriously. Actually, don't take yourself seriously, that's for sure. So, yeah, take fashion seriously, just not yourself.

Devendra Banhart

When you say you love me, it doesn't matter. It goes into my head as just chit-chatter. You may think it's egotistical or just worry-free, But what you say, I take none of it seriously.

MC Lyte

A good lesson in keeping your perspective is: Take your job seriously but don't take yourself seriously.

Thomas P. O'Neill

Whatever gets your goat gets your attention. Whatever gets your attention gets your time. Whatever gets your time gets you. Whatever gets you becomes your master. Take care, lest a little thing horn in and get your goat
