Quote of the Day: Change

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

Mahatma Gandhi

This quote, for me, is all about ownership. Owning the change that you would like to make and not waiting for others to make it for you. Facillitate, impress, encourage and, if necessary, cajole, but make it happen yourself! And then be the exemplar of that change for others to follow.

Quote of the Day: Infinity and Stupidity

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”

Albert Einstein

You’ve got to love this quote! Albert takes a comical swipe at man’s sanity and questions his own theories as a juxtaposition! Brilliant. With war, global warming, dictators, epidemics, and famines I make Albert right …. what do you think?

Quote of the Day: More on Hope

“Hope is a waking dream.”

Aristotle

To continue my recent theme on hope, today I go back to 4th Century Athens, and one of the great philosophers of all time, Aristotle. I like this quote as Aristotle somehow makes hope into an active emotion, taking it from the subconscious mind into the conscious and making our goals purposeful.
