The word "blockbuster" is "a term coined in the 1920s to denote a movie whose long line of customers could not be contained on a single city block" (The Big Picture : Money and Power in Hollywood: Books: Edward Jay Epstein)
As in "mind over matter"
- As in oil is gunk that makes farmland worthless - until the mind figures out a way to convert it into gasoline...
- As in the world happens to you - but you get to decide how you react and respond.
- As in "if you say you can't, you're right."
- As in "the pessimist sees the problem in every opportunity - and the optimist sees the opportunity in every problem."
