Ir tik viegli uzturēt sevī traucējošas nerealitātes. Daudzi cilvēki neapzināti apzināti izvēlas neticēt sev vēlamām lietām, tādejādi darot visu, lai šī neticēšana tiktu attaisnota. Kāds NLP speciālists šādus nerealitātes uzturētājus nodēvēja par iekšējiem teroristiem, kas dara visu, lai sabotētu vēlamo lietu izdošanos.
Cilvēki nav perfekti, cilvēkiem nepieciešama apkope. Izceļas tie cilvēki, kuri spējīgi veikt šo apkopi paši.

Bezgalīgam praktiskumam ir zināms šarms.

Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now it's complete because it's ended here'.

Story 3: Someone shows you a coin with a head and a tail on it. You watch him flip it 10 times and all 10 times it comes up heads. What is the probability that it will come up heads on the 11th flip?

A novice gambler would tell you, "Tales is more likely than heads, since things have to even out and tales is due to come up."

A math student would tell you, "We can't predict the future from the past, the odds are still even."

A professional gambler would say, "There must be something wrong with the coin or the way it is being flipped. I wouldn't bet with the guy flipping it, but I'd bet someone else that heads will come up again."

--Barry Greenstein 'Ace On The River'
