Quote of the day

I was blown away when I figured out that none of the great integrative moves that I studied came as a result of starting with a blank sheet of paper - as many innovation coaches suggest. Integrative solutions came directly from mining the existing models for the best of their nuggets. So I never start with a blank sheet of paper anymore.

If you want to develop courage, do the thing you fear and keep on doing it until you have a record of successful experiences behind you.

For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.

We hear a lot about theological justifications for the conflicts, but very little about the scientific evidence, which in no way supports them. The time period in which Moses was leading his people out of Egypt, into the Promised Land, the Promised Land was Egypt. We know that. Archaeological records are very clear. The Egyptians were avid bureaucrats even in those days and kept very scrupulous records. I think it's important for us to realize this conflict is built on a legend. It has no scientific support.

So his loss to me was huge, personally and professionally. He believed in me, not just as a father, but as a director, and that always meant a lot.
