–Lord Polonius’s advice to his son,
Laertes, who is departing for France
from Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Act 1. Scene III.

The man who, being really on the Way, falls upon hard times in the world will not, as a consequence, turn to that friend who offers him refuge and comfort and encourages his old self to survive.
Rather, he will seek out someone [Editor’s Note: perhaps an executive coach] who will faithfully and inexorably help him to risk himself, so that he may endure the suffering and pass courageously through it, thus making of it a raft that leads to the far shore.
Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to (more…)
We are at that very point in time when a 400-year-old age is dying and another is struggling to be born–a shifting of culture, science, society, and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced.

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.

Felix Adler, 1851-1933
American educator and founder of
the Ethical Culture Movement
