Oct 24th 2001 Lao-tsu
To lead people, walk beside them …
As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.
The next best, the people honor and praise.
The next, the people fear;
and the next, the people hate …
When the best leader’s work is done the people say, “We did it ourselves!”
— Lao-tsu

Harvard Business School creates value through its ability to find great people, extract them from their companies, turn them into free agents, assemble them in one place in Boston, and then spit them out on an extremely predictable schedule in a manner that is user-friendly to people who want to hire them. It’s not the faculty members who are doing the most useful work at these institutions. It’s the admissions staff and the placement office that create the real value.

Oct 14th 2001 David Landes, The Wealth and Poverty of Nations
In this world, the optimists have it, not because they are always right, but because they are positive. Even when wrong, they are positive, and that is the way of achievement, correction, improvement, and success. Educated, eye-open optimism pays; pessimism can only offer the empty consolation of being right.
