Join 📚Jof’S Book Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
every organization needs performance in three major areas: It needs direct results; building of values and their reaffirmation; and building and developing people for tomorrow.
The Effective Executive
Peter F. Drucker
Another central claim of this book, which will seem equally indecent to those who find the purity of morality attractive, is that our responsibilities to others constitute only the public side of our lives, a side which competes with our private actions and our private attempts at self-creation, and which has no automatic priority over such private motives. Whether it has priority in any given case is a matter for deliberation, a process which will usually not be aided by appeal to "classical first
principles." Moral obligation is, in this view, to be thrown in with a lot of
other considerations, rather than automatically trump them.
Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity
Richard Rorty
We have thousands of things, like videotapes and music, which help us be away from ourselves. Practicing meditation is to be aware, to smile, to breathe. These are on the opposite side. __We go back to ourselves in order to see what is going on, because to meditate means to be aware of what is going on. What is going on is very important.__
Being Peace
Thich Nhat Hanh
