“[On the Internet and activism:] The danger of the Internet is cocooning with the like-minded online - of sending an email or twitter and confusing that with action - while the real corporate and military and government centers of power go right on. In a way, the highest purpose of the Internet is to bring us together for empathy and action. After all, the reflector cells and empathy-producing chemicals in our brains only work when we're physically together with all five senses.

“Higher education isn't just a personal investment. It's a public good that pays off in a more competitive workforce and better-informed and engaged citizens. Every year, we spend nearly $100 billion on corporate welfare, and more than $500 billion on defense spending. Surely ensuring the next generation can compete in the global economy is at least as important as subsidies for big business and military adventures around the globe. In fact, I think we can and must go further - not just making public higher education tuition-free, but reinventing education in America as we know it.” ThinkingKnowsYearsImportantFactsBigsAmericaNextPayEducationEconomyGenerationsMilitaryCollegeAdventureHigherCitizensInvestmentSpendingDefenseBillionsCorporateWelfareEngagedGlobesNext GenerationBig BusinessHigher EducationGlobal EconomyWorkforceSubsidiesPublic GoodTuitionReinventingEducation In AmericaCollege TuitionDefense Spending Author:Robert Reich
“In the army we are drilled into execution and then supervision, to make sure everything goes the way you planned it. But there is another thing that we do in the military, that I think perhaps isn't done enough in corporate life: As soon as you have made that decision, you start on the contingency planning. Because there is, as we like to say, a thinking, breathing enemy out there, who is not going to let you do just what you want.” ThinkingWayWantMadeDoneEnoughDecisionEnemyMilitaryArmyWhat You WantPlanningBreathingCorporateExecutionSupervisionContingency Author:Colin Powell
“In the military we also learn principles of war which also work in a corporate setting: How do you concentrate as much of your force as possible on a critical point and take a risk elsewhere?
