“Nobody wants to know a colored woman's opinion about her own status of that of her group.

“A good leader has a plan that consists of changing simple pictures. Just because a group of people has a bunch of boards, hammers, and nails does not mean that they are building a house or even anything recognizable. Sometimes leaders think they are doing their job just because there is a lot of hammering going on. As a society we like the sound of hammering, but we are uncomfortable with the sound of thinking, which is silence.” PeopleThinkingMeanDoeSometimesJobsHouseSoundLeadershipSimpleSilenceLeaderPlansGroupsBuildingBunchUncomfortableBoardsNailsHammersGood Leader Book:Jesus, CEO: using ancient wisdom for visionary leadership Source: Jesus, CEO: using ancient wisdom for visionary leadership

“It's easy to look at the vampires as a metaphor for any feared or misunderstood group. It's also easy to look at them as a metaphor for a shadow organization that says one thing and has a completely different agenda on their mind, and anybody who gets in their way, they just get rid of them.

“I always maintain that playing in an orchestra intelligently is the best school for democracy. If you play a solo, the conductor and everybody in the orchestra follows you. Then, a few bars later, the main voice goes to another instrument, another group, and then you have to go back into the collective [sound]. The art of playing in an orchestra is being able to express yourself to the maximum but always in relation to something else that is going on.” IfsArtPlayAbleSchoolSoundVoiceDemocracyGroupsRelationInstrumentsBarsCollectivesSoloOrchestraMaximumExpress YourselfConductorBest School Author:Daniel Barenboim
“There's a theory that snoring at night in sleep is a subconscious defence reflex-a warning sound that frightened potential predators away from the mouth of the cave when our lower-paleolithic ancestors huddled in vulnerable sleep. That group of nomads, cameleers, sheep and goat herders, farmers, and guerilla fighters lent credibility to the idea, for they snored so thunderously and with such persistent ferocity through the long, cold night that they would've frightened a pride of ravenous lions into scattering like startled mice.” LongIdeasNightSoundSleepGroupsTheoryPrideColdMouthsVulnerableFighterFrightenedLionsFarmersWarningAncestorSheepSubconsciousMiceCavesPersistentCredibilityDefenceGoatsPredatorReflexesNomadFerocitySnoringCold Night Author:Gregory David Roberts
