There is a tide

There is a tide in the affairs of men

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Omitted, all the voyage of their life

Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

We Band of Brothers

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition:

Stand

Words of inspiration from one of God’s messengers – Cornelius “See” Flowers.

Stand for something,… or something will stand in the way of what you could have stood for. And if you don’t stand for something in this life, let me ask you – What are you good for?

I have no problem with so many people bending down on their knees to pray. But if you just stand straight up, it’s a little bit easier for God to hear what you’re trying to say.

You’ve already fallen for the sickness of jealousy, hatred, envy, and greed. Well if your falling for what you don’t know, why don’t you stand for what you believe.

Stand for honor. Your honor, I don’t need to take a stand to testify. You see, I’ve taken a stand and testified that taking a stand was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.

I took a stand against wrong, so I can stand to do something right. And if you are standing in my way, then it’s time that you stand a side.

My mother once taught me that “c’aint” was not a word and “aint” was not a verb. And if I didn’t stand for what I said, I’d fall for what I heard.

She told me: you don’t need anybody’s help, because you can stand all by yourself. And if you can’t stand on your own, you’ll have to stand on something else.

Either you stand by your words, or you stand all by yourself.

A lot of us, were just on stand-by. Just standing by, letting life just pass us by, and I am not understanding why. Are you an innocent bystander or are you just standing by?

Equality, Humanity, Freedom, Prosperity. Those are just some of the things that I stand for.

But I can’t stand those people who are not against, nor neither for. Baby, take a stand. Be either or. Either against, or either for. And once you find something in your heart to be eager for, then you stand.

Because your stand is your platform, and your life begins on it. So stand like your life depends on it, and get ready for the war.

Don’t hold steady, go forward – straight a head, that way. Hold your heads up – look straight ahead, that way. And when it seems hard; baby, you just see God. And that way, what ever your problem, it will be solved that day.

You give it to God – that day. And that way, whatever your problem or your situation, whatever circumstance that you’re facing, whatever dream that you’re chasing, whatever opportunity that you’ve wasted, won’t hinder your progress.

Because his word – it stands as his promise. And that just what he sees in you.

So, for whatever it means to you, however important or unimportant it might seem to you; put on the armor of God, and let him lead in you.

Know that I believe in you. And then all you need to do… is stand.

Why Incentives Don’t Work

In this video, Barry Schwartz “…makes a passionate call for “practical wisdom” as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy. He argues powerfully that rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help rebuild our world.”Pay special attention to his explanation of why corporate incentives don’t work.

This video was recorded at the TED Conference in February 2009… [click to play]
