We have more information now than we can use, and less knowledge and understanding than we need. Indeed, we seem to collect information because we have the ability to do so, but we are so busy collecting it that we haven't devised a means of using it. The true measure of any society is not what it knows but what it does with what it knows.

I am reminded how hollow the label of leadership sometimes is and how heroic followership can be.
Warren G. Bennis
Image
The capacity for uncontaminated wonder, ultimately, is what distinguishes the successful from the ordinary, the happily engaged players of whatever era from the chronically disappointed and malcontent. Therein lies a lesson for geeks, geezers, and the sea of people who fall in between.
Warren G. Bennis

Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.
