QUOTEABLE QUOTES BEING HUMAN The balance of our world frequently is seen as a question of power. If I have more power and more knowledge, more capacity, then I can do more. And when we have power, we can very quickly push people down. I’m the one that generally – despite the fact, knows and you don’t know, and I’m strong and I’m powerful, I have the knowledge. This is the history of humanity. And it is in the whole educational system, that we must educate people to become capable and to take their place in society. That has value, obviously. But it’s not quite the same thing as to educate people to relate, to listen, to help people to become themselves - - Jean Vanier (Canadian theologian and founder of L'Arche, for people with developmental disabilities and their carers, present in 37 countries - in conversation with Krista Tippet (radio host of On Being) BEING STILL, REFLECTING The evidence is we’re sleeping less, we’re feeling more under pressure, we’re being more harried by time generally – despite the fact, bizarrely, that we’ve come up with so many labour saving devices in the last 20 or 30 years – actually we’re busier and under more pressure than ever, and that I think is separating us from the miracle of our being and the miracle of our existence – reconnecting experientially and emotionally (not just intellectually) with this existence, with nature that we’re a part of, is really important for human health and well-being - Michael West , Professor of Organisational Psychology at Lancaster University) BEING PURPOSEFUL As Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft) shows, to reap the full and lasting benefits of a purpose-driven culture, leaders do well to weave purpose into the very fabric of the work. In data from 39 different industries, 73% of employees who say they work at a “purpose-driven” company are engaged, compared to just 23% of those who don’t - Daniel Goleman (author known for his work on emotional and social intelligence) One never really lives unless he has something to die for - Soren Kierkegaard (influential Danish philosopher and theologian) BEING AN ACTIVIST I can conceive of no better service… than boldly exposing the weakness, liabilities and infinite corruptions of democracy - Walt Whitman (innovative poet and journalist) FORWARD THIS TO A FRIEND Help us to spread the story-in-business message and forward the email to a friend or colleague who you feel would be interested.
