The waking consciousness will, of course, in each individual case, give preference to the more rapid means of deciding the game.

The positive emotions about the past include satisfaction, contentment, fulfillment, pride, and serenity.
Martin Seligman... what the artist or creative scientist feels is not anxiety or fear; it is joy. I use the word in contrast to happiness or pleasure.
