Today's quote

"The one certainty about the time ahead..
is that there will be turbulent times,
& in turbulent times, our first task as an organization
is to make sure of our capacity for survival,
to make sure of our structural strength & soundness,
of our capacity to survive a blow,
to adapt to sudden change & to avail of new opportunities
EVEN in the midst of turmoil & change.

--adapted from Peter Drucker




Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903
