Points to Ponder

1. A picture is worth a thousand words. Stop verbalizing thoughts. Draw diagrams, doodle on a napkin, create hideous powerpoint slides, draw on cave walls with charcoal sticks if you have to - graphic is the way to go
2. Beware of dogma. Fight it relentlessly. Fight it by convincing actions. Don't fight dogma with dogma.
3. If you love Paul Coelho then your heart is in the right place! 
4. Trust not a man who does not benchpress, he is given to tricks strategies and stratagems. - adapted from Shakespeare
5. Process and innovation may sound orthogonal as objectives. But they aren't necessarily so. Innovative processes and processes for innovation are common. Process is a conduit....innovation is the destination. Ignore the balance sheet. That is a given, if the road and destination are clear.
6. If you are headed in the wrong direction stop and turn 180 degrees
7. The right time to stop doing the wrong thing is right now
8. Do not make people conform. Embrace eccentricities. We crave individuality and we then hire intelligent people and expect them to fall in line and lose their identities and individualistic perspectives. The ones who conform might have suppressed angst or might lose their identities and become plain. And plain is tasteless.
9. The human state is meant to make about 5 good friends and meet 1 or 2 kindred spirits in their lifetime. Anything else is an unrealistic expectation. All others are acquaintances.
10. Read Khalil Gibran, Omar Khayyam and Rumi - to experience joy.
11. Constantly guard against anger. It is a poison tree that eats you from within.
