“As photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs. Move on objects with your eye straight on, to the left, around on the right. Watch them grow large as they approach, group and regroup as you shift your position. Relationships gradually emerge and sometimes assert themselves with finality. And that's your picture.” SometimesEyeMovingBeliefLeftGrowsWatchesGroupsPositionObjectsApproachPhotographerRelaxFinality Author:Aaron Siskind
“We go in with eyes wide open and recognize there will be a lot of hard work involved. But we anticipate having success. We feel like we have assembled a great group of people.

“It could be argued that all leadership is appreciative leadership. It’s the capacity to see the best in the world around us, in our colleagues, and in the groups we are trying to lead. It’s the capacity to see the most creative and improbable opportunities in the marketplace. It’s the capacity to see with an appreciative eye the true and the good, the better and the possible.” WorldTryingEyeOpportunityCreativeGroupsCapacityColleaguesMarketplaceImprobableAppreciative Author:David Cooperrider

“Paris is a city of centralisation--and centralisation and classification are closely allied. In the early times, when centralisation is becoming a fact, its forerunner is classification. All things which are similar or analogous become grouped together, and from the grouping of groups rises one whole or central point. We see radiating many long arms with innumerable tentaculae, and in the centre rises a gigantic head with a comprehensive brain and keen eyes to look on every side and ears sensitive to hear--and a voracious mouth to swallow.” LooksLongWholeFactsEyeTogetherSidesCitiesBrainGroupsArmsBecomingMouthsAll ThingsEarsParisSensitiveCentreComprehensiveClassificationForerunners Book:The Burial of the Rats Source: The Burial of the Rats
“I am a terrible and lazy Christian. I do not believe that the Bible is the literal word of God. I just skip about a third of it. I love the parts I love so much, but I find a lot of it just appalling.

“in most important ways, leaders of the future will need the traits and capabilities of leaders throughout history: an eye for change and a steadying hand to provide both vision and reassurance that change can be mastered, a voice that articulates the will of the group and shapes it to constructive ends, and an ability to inspire by force of personality while making others feel empowered to increase and use their own abilities.” WayNeedsFeelsImportantEndsUseHandsEyeForceVoiceLeadershipAbilityLeaderVisionGroupsInspirePersonalityShapesIncreaseCapabilityTraitsEmpoweredConstructiveReassurance Author:Rosabeth Moss Kanter

“You know I still get nervous speaking in front of people. Speaking reminds me of pitching in that way. No matter how much you prepare, there is always that anxiety to perform. Those butterflies. You learn to embrace that stress. Eventually you realize that stress is what pushes you to perform at your peak.... But man the roller coaster! I told myself that after my career was over I would live my life quietly, out of the public eye, with no chance of embarrassing myself in front of large groups of people.
