Ten Friday thoughts today concern just that. Thoughts.
Many of them I've picked up this week at the wonderful Tom Peters and Charles Handy conference. Some are older than that.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” —Charles Darwin
"Given that we only have one life we can neither compare it to our previous lives, nor perfect it in our lives to come." - Milan Kundera
“One woman can make you fly like an eagle. Another can give you the strength of a lion. But only one in a cycle of lives can fill you with gladness and the wisdom that you have known a singular joy." Deputy Hawk, Twin Peaks
“Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm.” —Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life. And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?" - Matthew 16:25-26
"Imagine. What would you do if you knew you couldn't possibly fail?" Michael Finnigan
"The greatest dangerfor most of us is not that our aim is too highand we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it." Michelangelo
"Ready. Fire! Aim. If it ain’t broke ... Break it! Hire crazies. Ask dumb questions. Pursue failure. Lead, follow ... or get out of the way! Spread confusion. Ditch your office. Read odd stuff. Avoid moderation!" Kevin Roberts' credo
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
"To thine own self be f***ing true, son" - Bernard Manning, quoting William f***ing Shakespeare
