“I have no doubt that aggressively going after wrongdoing can result in real improvement. Fewer wrongdoers in city government means more honest employees; it means better city services; it means more efficient government. And punishing wrongdoing can have a strong ripple effect that deters others from going down the wrong path.” MeanRealGovernmentStrongResultsCitiesPathDoubtEffectsHonestImprovementNo DoubtEmployeeFewerEfficientAggressionRippleWrongdoingWrong PathRipple EffectCity Government Author:David Hoffman

“Entrepreneurs don't really make mistakes, though. We just make decisions that seem right at the time, but which sometimes turn out to have been the wrong path to take. For example, we allowed a buyer to place a huge opening order and later had to take some product back. We didn't have our sell-through programs in place, so in hindsight, it would have been wiser to sell in less product at the outset. The scary thing is you are always making decisions without knowing the future.” Has BeensSometimesSeemsOrderTurnsDecisionBusinessMistakeKnowingPathExampleProductsHugeProgramSellsEntrepreneurScaryOpeningMaking MistakesWiserHindsightMaking DecisionsBuyersScary ThingsWrong PathKnowing The Future Author:Tom Szaky

“Your life is not predestined, as in Calvinist thought, where everything is written down in the book of life long before your birth and is inescapable. There are choices, accidents, hints and wrong paths, and the ego you, or whatever you call yourself, is a factor in all this. But there is still this other factor that keeps calling. At some moment, people turn, in despair or when they are unable to go any longer on a certain route, and this inner voice says, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you to turn to me for a long time."” PeopleLongStillsBookMomentsLife IsCertainTurnsChoicesWaitingVoicePathWrittenBirthCallingEgoDespairLong TimeAccidentsFactorsRoutesLong LifeHintsInner VoiceWaiting For YouPredestinedWrong PathBook Of Life Author:James Hillman
“It is not education, but education of a certain kind, that will serve us.

“Expectations are usually predicated on the idea that the everyday things that happen to ordinary people shouldn't happen to you. People hold the idea of being ordinary in absolute contempt, so when they face an illness, poverty, or any kind of catastrophe, they say, "I can't believe this happened to me." And who did you think it was going to happen to - the woman across the street? It makes them think, "I must be on the wrong path." But what if something you thought was bad was the best thing that ever happened to you?
