Mahatma Gandhi, (attributed)
Indian ascetic & nationalist leader (1869 - 1948)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
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.

Planning for your tenure and promotion process
I am a huge believer in visualization and planning. If you want something then you need to plan a process to get it...and one of the best ways to do that is to act as though you have achieved your goal already. The brain is a really dumb piece of meatware...if you smile your brain releases the proper hormones and boom you feel happier. In other words, fake a smile and dance now, then shortly you will be smiling and dancing for real. Well the same works here...act like you are where you want to be and you feel like you are there, then because you both act consciously and unconsciously like you have already reached your goal(s), others well see you as being at the end of the path, not the beginning.
I found a great tool to help me, and now you, along our road. IUPUI Office of Professional Development has some very useful discussions and checklists for new and established faculty in their Resource Center. While the specifics would be limited to IUPUI positions, the general ideas should be applicable to most any major U.S. university. Check out your universities and see if they have a similar office and site, for more specifics that you can immediately relate too...and share those addys in comments.
