By itself, one small win may seem unimportant, writes Dr. Karl Weick in a seminal paper for American Psychologist in 1984. A series of wins at small but significant tasks, however, reveals a pattern that may attract allies, deter opponents, and lower resistance to subsequent proposals. Once a small win has been accomplished, Weick continues, forces are set in motion that favor another small win.

Married people, for instance, are demonstrably happier than single people; does this mean that marriage causes happiness? Not necessarily. The data suggest that happy people are more likely to get married in the first place. As one researcher memorably put it, If you're grumpy, who the hell wants to marry you?

"Do you mean to spend your whole life running away?" Tyrion asked before she could slip back out the door. That stopped her. Her cheeks turned a bright pink, and he was afraid she was about to start weeping again. Instead she thrust out her lip defiantly and said, "You're running too." "I am," he confessed, "but I am running TO and you are running FROM, and there's a world of difference there."

My Lord Father! How joyful it is to find you here! Lord Tywin did not move from his seat, but cast a long, searching glance at his deformed son. "I see, the rumors of your death were unfounded." "I'm sorry if I disappointed you, Father," Tyrion replied. "There's no need to jump up and embrace me; I wouldn't want you to strain yourself."

Gail Collins America's Women:...
But it was a moral issue, too, and a number of Northern women felt they had an obligation to fight an institution that broke up families and subjected young women to sexual molestation. Abolition of slavery was different from other reform movements, partly because it drew women so clearly into politics, and partly because it drew them so near to genuine violence.

It's because - she floundered - it's because the immortals somehow still seem alive, don't they - as if they were here, going to walk into the room in another minute - and one forgets they are dead. In fact one knows perfectly well that they're not dead - not nearly so dead as you and I even now, she assured
