"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest
fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light,
not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves "Who
am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?" Actually,
who are you not to be? You are a child of God, Your playing small
doesn`t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won`t feel insecure around you. We were born
to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It`s not
just in some of us, it`s in everyone. And as we let our own light
shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the
same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others."
Nelson Mandela. Excerpted from the 1994 Inaugural Speech
"Excellent firms don't believe in excellence - only in
constant improvement and constant change"
Tom Peters
"If you do everything in the same way as before, you will
have come no further by tomorrow"
Marina Coventure
Novelist Rebecca West defined genius as "the abnormal justifying itself: those who know that they are for whatever reason condemned by life make themselves at one with life by some magnificent act of creation"
The Speaker, Betty Boothroyd, rebuked an MP for using a cardboard
diagram in the Commons to explain overseas aid figures. She said
"I have always believed that all Members of this House should
be sufficiently articulate to express what they want to say without
diagrams."
(Guardian, 7 December 1994)
Obviously, Betty doesn't know the power of visual thinking and communication!
