A few months ago I ran an experiment where I posted on Twitter a brief thoughtful sentence once a day. The try out revealed that quite a number of tweets inspired people to comment and continue discussion. However, these discussions occurred in Facebook, not in Twitter.
Here they are (latest first):
- The wise know but barely show.
- Denial is ignorance of perception.
- Old errors cannot be covered by repeating them.
- Spring is about bursting bubbles of creative energy.
- Only those who do not think need others to tell them what to do.
- New day, fresh canvas.
- Constant unpredictability – a sign of creative living.
- Experiences and knowledge shape your future.
- Planning helps, but doing works.
- Expectations lead to disappointments.
- Strategy is holographic actions.
- Why the only constant is so often such big news: Change!
- Humbleness is a friend of acceptance.
- Organisations don’t exist, people do.
- Drama is imaginary life of others.
- Poor judgement is often followed by drastic measures.
- Creativity is the sound of silence.
- Remove fear and you are free.
- Integrity starts by facing the mirror.
- A civilised society does not need public servants or masters.
- Public good is something that removes your individual choice, resources and control.
- Practical example persuades the most.
- Smile impacts others.
- Success is a subjective phenomenon.
- Kind words and encouragement result positive outcomes.
- Poor perception means a lot of action.
- External conflicts are created by internal turmoil.
- Telling others what to do is easy. Keeping your mouth shut and minding your own business is harder.
- Happiness is not a dictum to be followed.
- To erode our individual rights is to sell out our future.
- We can worry only now.
- To choose is to discriminate.
- A more sophisticated form of slavery is called taxation.
- Lack of understanding is called complexity.
- To make a difference is to change oneself.
- Uncertainty is the price of change.
- Welfare model: Remove freedom of choice, take the resources by coercion and provide one-size-fits-all package solutions in return.
- Business model of politics: take other people’s money and give it to others, and gain more power, prestige and influence in the process.
- Receipt of politics: separate benefits (and responsibility) from the costs by coercion.
- Lack of clarity precedes blurry actions.
- Getting funding is easy, preparations for it usually are not.
- What are we doing and why?
- When you don’t know what to do, do nothing.
- Speculation is futile and patience is everything.
- Resist the temptation to do last minute “fixes”.
- Solid (recession) business model: Money now and money in the future.
- Unconditional love drives where selfishness blinds.
- Simple rules are the hardest to follow.
- Doing good is more popular than being good.
- Rainy day is perfect for absorption.
- We take things for granted, till they are gone, like your fillings.
