“The authorization I propose would provide the flexibility to conduct ground combat operations in other more limited circumstances, such as rescue operations involving U.S. or coalition personnel or the use of special operations forces to take military action against ISIL leadership, it would also authorize the use of U.S. forces in situations where ground combat operations are not expected or intended, such as intelligence collection and sharing, missions to enable kinetic strikes or the provision of operational planning and other forms of advice and assistance to partner forces.” UseActionFormForceLeadershipSituationSpecialAdviceMilitaryCircumstancesMissionsExpectedStrikesPartnersPlanningOperationsCollectionsCombatRescueAssistanceFlexibilityProposeProvisionInvolvingCoalitionsPersonnelIsilMilitary ActionSpecial Operations Author:Barack Obama

“One reason there are so many short-lived management fads is that their prescriptions were derived and advocated in precisely this way. So managers read about a fad and try it, find that it doesn't work, abandon the effort, and move on to the next thing. In reality, it is usually the case that the faddish prescription was indeed sound advice in certain circumstances, but actually was poor advice in other circumstances.” WayTryingReasonRealityMovingCertainNextSoundPoorEffortCasesAdviceCircumstancesManagementManagersAbandonPrescriptionsFadsShort LivedSound Advice Author:Clayton Christensen
“All of the external circumstances and the rude and difficult people we meet, instead of getting angry, upset, or frustrated, we see that we can take them all and use them on the path in a way that actually invigorates and strengthens us, rather than defeats us. It's all very practical advice, and that's why I talk a lot about how to make our daily life into Dharma practice, otherwise it's easy to feel hopeless and helpless.” PeopleWayFeelsUseEasyDifficultPracticePathAdviceCircumstancesAngryDefeatPracticalsUpsetDaily LifeHopelessFrustratedHelplessRudeDharma Author:Tenzin Palmo
“I am not fond of giving advice; people are different, circumstances are different, motivations vary, but overall I would say that no amount of success or attention will create happiness in your life unless one is happy within themselves and we learn that the money won't buy it. So find out what brings you joy and inspires happiness, and fight for it.” PeopleGivingDifferentJoyMotivationFightingAttentionAdviceInspireAmountCircumstancesVaryGiving Advice Author:Guinevere Van Seenus
“An American leader would be derelict of duty if he did not seek to understand all his options in such unprecedented circumstances. Presidents Lincoln during the Civil War and Roosevelt in the lead-up to World War II sought legal advice about the outer bounds of their power - even if they did not always use it. Our leaders should ask legal questions first, before setting policy or making decisions in a fog of uncertainty.” WorldWarPresidentDecisionLeaderAdvicePolicyDutyCircumstancesUncertaintyWar Of The WorldsCivil WarWorld War IiWorld War I Author:John Yoo
