“I like a leader who can, while pointing out a mistake, bring up the good things the other person has done. If you do that, then the person sees that you have a complete picture of him. There is nobody more dangerous than one who has been humiliated, even when you humiliate him rightly.” IfsPersonsHas BeensDoneLeadershipMistakeLeaderDangerousGood ThingsPointingHumiliatedHumiliate Author:Nelson Mandela
“Substances like LSD, which give away a secret about the nature of the social game - the human game and what underlies it - are potentially dangerous, of course, like any good thing is. Electricity is dangerous, fire is dangerous, cars are dangerous, planes are dangerous, but not so dangerous as driving on the freeway. The only way to handle danger is to face it. If you start getting frightened of it, then you make it worse. Because you project onto it all kinds of bogeys and threats which don't exist in it at all.” IfsWayGivingHumansKindFacesCoursesGamesSocialSecretFireDangerousCarDangerProjectsGood ThingsThreatDrivingHandleAll KindsSubstancePlanesFrightenedElectricityLsdFreewaysDriving On Author:Alan Watts
“Anyone living, especially your peers, is a threat. You're judging them, they're judging you. This sort of criticism is as close to human nature as you can get. That can be a good thing sometimes. Jealously, rancor, competition, those can be good things in art. But it mostly puts you in a dangerous and disadvantageous position, and one that just takes away from you so much.” HumansArtSometimesDangerousHuman NaturePositionJudgingCriticismCompetitionGood ThingsThreatBe GoodPeersAway From YouJealouslyRancorJudging You Author:Raymond Pettibon
“Nothing is more dangerous than to stop working. It is a habit that can soon be lost, one that is easily neglected and hard to resume. A measure of day-dreaming is a good thing, like a drug prudently used ... But too much submerges and drowns. Woe to the intellectual worker who allows himself to lapse wholly from positive thinking into day-dreaming. He thinks he can easily change back, and tells himself that it is all one. He is wrong! To substitute day-dreaming for thought is to confuse poison with a source of nourishment.” ThinkingHardDreamUsedLostToo MuchDangerousPositive ThinkingSourceHabitDrugIntellectualGood ThingsWorkersPoisonWorking ItSubstitutesWoeNeglectedNourishmentResumesLapsesLost Ones Author:Victor Hugo
“Learning is a good thing, but unless it's tempered by faith and a love of freedom, it can be very dangerous indeed.” DangerousGood Things Author:Paul Kengor
