Leading Thoughts for December 5, 2024
IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with:
Marshall Goldsmith on community:
“You may think of yourself as a wholly self-made rugged individualist who takes responsibility for choices made, never whines ‘It’s not fair!’ and always rejects the role of victim or martyr. I’ve met admirable people who embody all these traits, but one: None of them believes they are wholly self-made. They know that an earned life cannot be achieved in isolation. It only thrives within a community.”

Robert Littell on the shortest distance between two points:
“[The assumption] that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, which you and I, old boy, in our infinite wisdom, know to be a dodgy proposition. Me, I am orthodox anti-Euclidean. There simply is no short distance between two points. There’s only a meander.”
