“When you value your integrity at the highest level, living alignment with your word and following through with your commitments no matter what, there are no limits to what you can create for your life. However, when you make excuses, justify doing what easiest, and choose the path of least resistance, you will live a life of mediocrity, frustration and regret.

“People want to buy cheap and sell dear; this by itself makes them countertrend. But the notion of cheapness or dearness must be anchored to something. People tend to view the prices they’re used to as normal and prices removed from these levels as aberrant. This perpective leads people to trade counter to an emerging trend on the assumption that prices will eventually return to “normal”. Therein lies the path to disaster.” PeopleWantUsedLyingLevelsViewsPathReturnNormalTradeSellsNotionDearDisasterAssumptionTrendsEmergingCheapness Author:William Eckhardt
“The course of a great statesman resembles that of navigable rivers, avoiding immovable obstacles with noble bends of concession, seeking the broad levels of opinion on which men soonest settle and longest dwell, following and marking the almost imperceptible slopes of national tendency, yet always aiming at direct advances, always recruited from sources nearer heaven, and sometimes bursting open paths of progress and fruitful human commerce through what seem the eternal barriers of both.” MenHumansSometimesSeemsCoursesHeavenLevelsOpinionPathProgressSourceEternalRiversDirectSeekingFollowingObstaclesNobleTendenciesSettlingBarriersBroadsCommerceAvoidingStatesmenSlopesBurstingConcessions Book:My Study Windows Source: My Study Windows

“But as Van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: I am because I die.” YearsHumansStillsDifferentProblemPastUsedDiesTurnsFoundSpaceLevelsPathFashionMirrorsFinalsTriumphTragicMatureIdleVagueVersusTime And SpaceVansTwistedMotorCartsMazesArchesDifferent LevelsMulesTacklingNarrow PathBreaking Away Author:Vladimir Nabokov

“One of the great errors organizations make is shutting down what is a natural, life-enhancing process-chaos. We are terrified of chaos. As a manager, it signals failure. But if you move out of control and into an appreciation of natural order, you understand that the only way a system changes is when it is far from equilibrium, when it moves from the 'quiet' we treasure and is confronted with the choice to die or reorganize. And you can't reorganize to a higher level unless you risk the perils of the path through chaos.” IfsWayMovingOrderDiesChoicesProcessNaturalLevelsPathRiskHigherQuietOrganizationErrorsChaosAppreciationTreasureManagersTerrifiedSignalsPerilEquilibriumHigher LevelNatural OrderNatural LifeShutting DownSystems Change Author:Margaret J.
