Our culture is our strength….
“Our culture is our strength. There is a sort of unspoken routine; we think alike, and we all know what needs to be done. Competitors may offer the same hardware – the same entertainment systems or new aircraft – but the software is hard to imitate or emulate. Continue reading
“I want my life to count” – Eknath Easwaran
When human beings reach a state in which their physical wants are more than satisfied, when the optimum level of material abundance and physical comfort is reached, something in us feels an unpleasant sense of satiation. Continue reading
Rattling the Competitive Cage – Rich Horwath
Feel like you ‘re trapped in a cage with your competitors? Too close for comfort? Clawing at each other day in and day out? Inevitable? Hardly. But you’re not alone.
In 1934, Moscow University professor G. F. Gause published the results of a landmark study. He placed small animals in a bottle with an ample amount of food. If the animals were of the same genus and a different species, they were able to live together peaceably. However, if the animals were of the same genus and the same species, they were not able to coexist (sound familiar?) This led to the Principle of Competitive Exclusion, which states that no two species can coexist that make their living in the identical way. Continue reading

Ultimately, leadership is about creating new realities – Peter Senge
Leadership exists when people are no longer victims of circumstances but participate in creating new circumstances … That is the real gift of leadership.

Utterly Simple Idea
To my mind there must be, at the bottom of it all, not an equation, but an utterly simple idea. And to me that idea, when we finally discover it, will be so compelling, so inevitable, that we will say to one another, “Oh, how beautiful. How could it have been otherwise?”

A Tear And A Smile – Kahlil Gibran
I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart
For the joys of the multitude.
And I would not have the tears that sadness makes
To flow from my every part turn into laughter.
I would that my life remain a tear and a smile. Continue reading
The most successful people in life are not go getters, but go givers!
It’s been said that you cannot give away what you do not have. One of the most spiritual important insights or secrets in life is that you already have, and always have had, what you need to give away! Continue reading
It Doesn’t Interest Me What You Do For A Living
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or
have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain! Continue reading
