All new will come from what you are ignorant of now

Saving…
Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth… these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women’s empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.
– Ban Ki-moon
Leadership…
Leadership is an individual sport, one that has to be fine-tuned to each of the people that reports to you. Leaders also need to provide the direction, energy, encouragement and inspiration for each person who reports directly to the leader as well as for the overall organisation.
– David Petraeus
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
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.
