“Ideas are somewhat like babies - they are born small, immature, and shapeless. They are promise rather than fulfillment. In the innovative company executives do not say, "This is a damn-fool idea." Instead they ask, "What would be needed to make this embryonic, half-baked, foolish idea into something that makes sense, that is an opportunity for us?"” IdeasWould BeAsksOpportunityBornHalfCompanyBabyFoolNeededPromiseFoolishMake SenseFulfillmentDamnExecutivesInnovativeImmature Author:Peter Drucker

“It is difficult to look at any newborn baby and accept that he or she will necessarily encounter pain, challenges, disappointments, and hardships in life. Yet even the Savior needed to "go forth, suffering pains and afflictions . . . of every kind" (Alma 7:11), the only difference being that Jesus, though tempted, did not sin (Hebrews 4:15; see also D&C 45:4). Even harder to comprehend, however, was how that precious Babe of Bethlehem, whose birth we celebrate each Christmas, would one day bear the weight not only of our sins but also all our infirmities.” LooksKindPainSufferingJesusDifficultChallengesDifferencesSinAcceptingBabyBearsBirthNeededOne DayWeightHarderDisappointmentCelebrateEncountersHardshipSaviorAfflictionTemptedBabeHebrewNewbornInfirmityBethlehemNewborn BabySuffering Pain Author:Eric D.

“The disgraced Usurer Yankel D took the baby girl home that evening... He made a bed of crumpled newspaper in a deep baking pan and gently tucked it in the oven, so that she wouldn't be disturbed by the noise of the small falls outside... When he pulled her out to feed her or just hold her, her body was tattooed with the newsprint... Sometimes he would rock her to sleep in his arms, and read her left to right, and know everything he needed to know about the world.
