“When a leader makes the choice to put the safety and lives of the people inside the organization first, to sacrifice their comforts and sacrifice the tangible results, so that the people remain and feel safe and feel like they belong, remarkable things happen.” PeopleFeelsFirstsHappensMotivationalChoicesResultsLeaderSacrificeComfortSafeOrganizationSafetyThings HappenRemarkableTangible Author:Simon Sinek
“Fighting, and the employment of force, even for the right cause, will not bring about good results. The oppressed who have right on their side, must not take that right by force; the evil would continue. Hearts must be changed. The rich must wish to give! Life in man should be like a flame, warming all with whom it comes into contact. The spiritually awakened are like to bright torches in the sight of God, they give light and comfort to their fellows.” MenGivingShouldHeartLightFightingEvilForceWishCausesSidesResultsRichChangedComfortSightFellowsContactEmploymentFlamesOppressedAwakenedTorches Author:Abdu'l-Bahá
“No other serial publications carry a number on them that is of any weight to their readership. The number is there to serve a function, but it has no intrinsic value in and of itself. It's comfort food and nostalgia at best. On this, we follow what you and your fellow readers do more than what you say. We hear complaints about renumbering every time we do it, but every time we do it it results in higher sales, which is the whole ballgame - so if it were your time and your effort, what would you do?” IfsBookWholeValuesResultsNumbersEffortReaderHigherComfortWeightFunctionFellowsNostalgiaComicComic BookComplaintsPublicationSerialsReadershipIntrinsic ValueComfort FoodBallgame Author:Tom Brevoort

“I, Tivadar Kosztka, who gave up his prime of youth for the rebirth of the world, accepting the call of the invisible Spirit, had a regular civil job, comfort, wealth then... Going to Paris in 1907 I oppositely standed alone in front of millions with only the result of the divine providence, and I beat the vanity of the world hollow, but I haven't killed 10 million people, only sobered them. I haven't made commercials from things, because I didn't care for the pedlar's press; I retired from the world instead, going to the top of the Lebanons, and I painted cedars.” PeopleWorldMadeCareJobsSpiritWealthResultsAcceptingMillionsFrontsHavensYouthDivineComfortBeatsPressesInvisibleVanityParisPrimeProvidenceRebirthRetiredHollowGave UpLebanonDivine ProvidenceCedars Author:Tivadar Kosztka Csontvary
“There are two kinds of happiness - the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that results from the thorough transformation and development of the mind. We can see in our own lives that the latter form of happiness is superior because when our mental state is calm and happy, we can easily put up with minor pains and physical discomforts. On the other hand, when our mind is restless and upset, the most comfortable physical facilities do not make us happy.” MindKindTwoStatesHandsPainFormPleasureResultsMaterialsDevelopmentComfortComfortableTransformationEndureCalmHappySuperiorsUpsetLatterTemporaryMinorsBeing HappyRestlessDiscomfortFacilityThoroughSpiritual Transformation Author:Dalai Lama
“Most change initiatives either fail or fall far short of original (perhaps unrealistic) expectations.
