Liars don’t genuinely apologize. Deceit has become their full-out lifestyle. They are centered on themselves with no thoughts of the consequences of their lies. In cowardly style, they tell more lies to try and cover their tracks. They are not good at admitting they actually have shortcomings.","author":"Cathy Burnham Martin","tags":["apologies","apology","consequences","coward","deceit","human","hurt","liar","liars","lies","politicians","politics","self-centered","shortcomings","weakness"],"id":262632,"author_id":"Cathy+Burnham+Martin"},{"text":"If we never challenge our shortcomings, we ensure that they remain our Achilles' heel.","author":"Gina Greenlee","tags":["challenge-and-attitude","challenges","dig-deep","dream-big","dream-bigger","live-your-dreams","overcoming-challenges","overcoming-obstacles","shortcomings"],"id":304492,"author_id":"Gina+Greenlee"},{"text":"Perhaps, if you weren't so busy regarding my shortcomings, you'd find that I do possess redeeming qualities, discreet as they may be.  I notice when the sky is blue.  I smile down at children.  I laugh at any innocent attempt at humor.  I quietly carry the burdens of others as though they were my own.  And I say 'I'm sorry' when you don't.  I am not without fault, but I am not without goodness either.","author":"Richelle E.

I do this because these are the characteristics that define us no less than our strengths. What we feel sets us apart from other people is often the thing that shapes us as individuals. This may be especially true of writers and actors, many of whom first started to develop their observational skills as a result of being sidelined from typical childhood or adolescent activities because of an infirmity or a feeling of not fitting in. Or so I’ve come to believe from talking to so many writers and actors over the years.","author":"Terry Gross","tags":["actors","artists","childhood-trauma","defining-moments","defining-yourself","individuality","interview","interviewing","interviews","introspection","journalism","loneliness","not-fitting-in","outcasts","personal-development","self-awareness","shortcomings","weaknesses","what-makes-us-who-we-are","what-shapes-us","writers"],"id":375509,"author_id":"Terry+Gross"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":17,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
