France just banned plastic cups and utensils! They always lead in fighting what is ugly and environmentally harmful. I hope San Francisco follows. I don’t have hope that America will follow, where the Green Party has 2% of the vote.

As you know … we created dogs through human-selection in breeding of wolves.

A Russian scientist repeated the process with foxes, more controlled, so he accomplished it in 50 years and he created a breed of foxes that are domestic and friendly.

When we understand evolution, the options are limitless.

How does that help stabilize the region and the world?!

The more military support to a country in defiance of UN resolutions, human rights, and international law, which is in confrontational stance with most of its neighbors and half of its population, occupying land and denying people the right to self-determination … Building illegal settlements on occupied lands, and continues to practice religion and ethnic racism and apartheid … the more to increased anti American sentiment in the world.

“It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough. It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields the results that make our hearts sing.” Steve Jobs

College education is another layer of ignorance, but what is worse, combined with arrogance.

“Sometimes, without realizing it, we use our most treasured values as an excuse to avoid the discomfort of actually leading.”

“Powerful, often invisible behavioral, social and cultural forces can cause leaders to espouse the infallible importance of unexamined virtues.”

“Some say good enough is for wimps, losers and cop-outs. But we set a trap for ourselves when we expect excellence in everything.”

“When leaders tolerate more playful experimentationon the path to a destination defined by excellence,they increase the chances that people will stay engaged and produce truly distinguished work.”

“Prioritizing team goals over individual goals means that when one person slacks off, someone else has to do additional work in order to prop up the low performer.”

“There is no greater danger to productivity than the standing committee meeting – a team for the sake of a team, a meeting for the sake of a meeting.”

“Leaders should collaborate only when they must.”

“How you construct meaning is the single most important act of leadership that you can make.”

“The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best – and therefore never scrutinize or question.”
