I’m hoping we can create a balanced life in which we’ll be aggressive with our imaginations but conservative with our emotions. There has to be a way to create a better life but not be overtaken by greed.

Jul 26th 2001 John E. Treat, George E. Thibault and Amy Asin

Strategy is indivisible. Remove one part or take away the bridges and the glue that ties the parts together and you don’t have strategy, but tactics. Tactics are the elements that relate to the execution of the strategy. Those elements are discrete and divisible and can be examined and evaluated separately.
John E. Treat, George E. Thibault and Amy Asin

Jul 24th 2001 The Art of War, Sun Tzu, Translated by Thomas Clea

Therefore those who do not know the plans of competitors cannot prepare alliances. Those who do not know the lay of the land cannot maneuver their forces. Those who do not use local guides cannot take advantage of the ground. The military of an effective rulership must know all these things.
— The Art of War, Sun Tzu, Translated by Thomas Clea

Jul 22nd 2001 The Art of War, Sun Tzu, Translated by Thomas Clea

The contour of the land is an aid to an army; sizing up opponents to determine victory, assessing dangers and distances, is the proper course of action for military leaders. Those who do battle knowing these will win, those who do battle without knowing these will lose.
— The Art of War, Sun Tzu, Translated by Thomas Clea

In general, the pattern of invasion is that invaders become more intense the farther they enter alien territory, to the point where the native rulership cannot overcome them.

Jul 16th 2001 R.T. Pascale, Managing on the Edge

When we transcend a paradox there is often a quality of obviousness that produces a shock of recognition. No longer held captive by the old way of thinking, we are liberated to see things we have known all along, but couldn’t assemble into a useful model for action.
