George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

Why Do We Blog?
I have an academic friend who is working on her Master's Thesis and has been incorporating the question of "Why do you blog?" into her interview structure. Maybe this post and the comments to it will give her and you more insight into this monologue we use to dialogue between ourselves.
- Why Do We Blog? from Sandhill Trek: Voice and Vision in Decision
A week or so ago I gave myself the assignment of conducting a survey for the IT Kitchen: "Why do you blog?" I asked. I like easy answers, and by asking others perhaps I hoped to find the easy answers for myself. Certainly, I thought, it would be valuable to compile insights from some of the articulate digital self publishers known as "bloggers." Little did I know it would turn into a hobby. Here are reflections from thirty-five bloggers, an even three dozen if you count me....
Check out the actual page for a nice collection of answers from a variety of bloggers that were interviewed and a growing set of comments from readers. This thread continues for several posts, also see:
