Change…

Change is inevitable; acceptance is not

– Anon

The nature…

The nature and structure of belief systems is important because beliefs provide the cognitive foundation of an attitude. In order to change an attitude it is necessary to modify the information on which that attitude rests. It is generally necessary, therefore, to change a person’s beliefs, eliminate old beliefs or introduce new beliefs.

–  Richard Petty and John Cacioppo

Your…

Your comfort zone is best thought of as an expression of your constraints

– Paradigms of Leadership

It is…

It is most perilous to be a speaker of Truth. Sometimes one must choose to be silent, or be silenced. But if a truth cannot be spoken, it must at least be known. Even if you dare not speak truth to others, never lie to yourself.

– Francis Hardinge

(From Insight by Dr Tasha Eurich)

 

Patience…

Patience is the strength of the weak, impatience is the weakness of the strong.

– Immanuel Kant

You can…

You can be appointed manager but you are not a leader until your appointment has been ratified in the hearts and minds of the people

– John Adair

Futurism…

Futurism is the art of re-perception. Life will change, must change, has changed and suggests how and why. It shows that old paradigms have lost their validity whilst new ones are possible.

– Bruce Sterling

Everybody…

Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. But that still implies that change is like death and taxes; it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. But in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in today, change is the norm.

–  Peter F. Drucker (from 1999)

After…

After an argument, silence may mean acceptance or the continuation of resistance by other means

– Mason Cooley

We cannot…

We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

– Charles Swindoll
