"Successful management consultants are ones who support managers' unsupportable beliefs." -Russell Ackoff Kun toinen ihminen sanoo jotain, tärkeämpää on usein se, että sopiiko tämä siihen, mitä jo ajattelen. Ei niinkään se, että voisiko se olla totta ja perehtymisen arvoista.

'We appeal to human beings as human beings. Remember your humanity, and forget the rest.' Here's British humanist Bertrand Russell in 1955 reading from the Russell-Einstein Manifesto. It called for peace among nations in the very depths of the cold war. bit.ly/2PwSlcQ

Power tends to isolate those who hold too much of it. Eventually, they lose touch with reality... and fall.
