“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question,’Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I work in the research line, so very often when a crazy thought comes into my head, it is very natural to be very critical and think of reasons why something can’t work. Perhaps it is fruitful to sometimes just “dream” and stretch the imagination!?
“Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
John Wooden
Something to keep in mind in our value-focused society.
“The world never puts a price on you higher than the one you put on yourself.”
Sonja Henie
Echos of the knowledge transference note I wrote last week…
“Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.”
Albert Einstein
