“In an age where everything and everyone is linked through networks of glass and air, no one - no business, organization, government agency, country - is an island. We need to do right by all our stakeholders, and that's how you create value for shareholders. And one thing is for sure - no organization can succeed in a world that is failing.” WorldNeedsCountryGovernmentAgeValuesFailingOne ThingAirSucceedOrganizationGlassesIslandsAgencyLinkedShareholdersStakeholderGovernment AgenciesBusiness Organization Author:Don Tapscott
“I think if we all gardened more, they and all of the other birds that fly in the air above and light in my garden below would be better off. I know that God values them no less than I do.

“There is a form of eminence which does not depend on fate; it is an air which sets us apart and seems to prtend great things; it is the value which we unconsciously attach to ourselves; it is the quality which wins us deference of others; more than birth, position, or ability, it gives us ascendance.” LifeGivingDoeSeemsFormSuccessValuesWinningAbilityQualityFateAirPositionDependsBirthGreat ThingsSuccess In LifeEminenceDeference Author:Francois de La Rochefoucauld
“The most important thing I can teach my kids is that you can't put your value in looks. Presence is based upon magnitude. You can pretend to have an air about you but it is quickly deflated, you cannot deflate presence. Presence walks into a room and surrounds and fills anything that's in that room without trying to demand it, it takes over. It can come from a smile. Like I said, love makes you beautiful. What is beautiful radiates.” TryingLooksSaidI CanImportantKidsBeautifulValuesWalksRoomsTeachAirDemandImportant ThingsOver ItSurroundMagnitude Author:Terrence Howard
“As we begin to plan for a new human society, we need to foster common values about clean air, water, and other elements of self-sustenance.

“It may be that the invention of the aeroplane flying-machine will be deemed to have been of less material value to the world than the discovery of Bessemer and open-hearth steel, or the perfection of the telegraph, or the introduction of new and more scientific methods in the management of our great industrial works. To us, however, the conquest of the air, to use a hackneyed phrase, is a technical triumph so dramatic and so amazing that it overshadows in importance every feat that the inventor has accomplished.” WorldMayHas BeensUseValuesAirMaterialsDiscoveryPerfectionMachinesImportanceManagementMethodFlyingInventionFlightTriumphDramaticPhrasesAccomplishedAviationSteelConquestIntroductionInventorAeroplanesFeatsScientific MethodTelegraphFlying Machines Author:Waldemar Kaempffert
“The reason I invest in technology is it's the only work humans do that actually is creative.

“We try to use obvious Canadian touches whenever we can, and I'm really proud of the way we use Vancouver for its production value. Nobody is pretending that we're not shooting in Canada, which is really important to me. The other wonderful thing is that ABC has bought us, but they air us after CTV has had the full season air on Canadian television. That's another thing that I think is really a nod towards the importance of us acknowledging our own industry.” ThinkingWayTryingImportantUseValuesWonderfulAirTelevisionIndustryProudSeasonsImportanceProductionsObviousShootingCanadaPretendingWonderful ThingsVancouver Author:Kristin Lehman
