Partners @ 40

Glass

“Words, like eyeglasses, blur everything that they do not make clear” -Joseph Joubert

Pen

“The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium.”-- Norbet Platt   

When you reach at 40 with your wife, seemed that you are so dependent on each other and have always in thoughts that you wanted to grow old with her.

Connections | Inter-connectivity

Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.--Pema Chodron

As civilization grows more complex, it is simultaneously becoming increasingly interrelated. We are converging upon ourselves, and this is forcing us to relate.-----Anodea Judith

Skylights | Intellect

“There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects, and three-story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors with no aim beyond their facts are one-story men. Two-story men compare reason and generalize, using labors of the fact collectors” -   Oliver Wendell Holme

Architectural meaning:

Skylight is an architectural term means daylighting. Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and reflective surfaces so that during the day natural light provides effective internal lighting.(courtesy of wikipedia)

House of Leaders

Far View

Nearer View

What makes leadership is the ability to get people to do what they don't want to do and like it.
                                                                    - Harry Truman

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which have been overcome while trying to succeed.
                                                        - Booker T. Washington

Leadership is not a one-day thing. It is a constant commitment to excellence, a habit . . a daily practice.

Leaders are not born. They are made. They are made just likeanything else. .  through hard work. That's the price we

have to pay to achieve that goal or any goal.
                                                                 - Vince Lombardi

Center

Now it had always been the custom for Moses whenever he went from his house to the Tabernacle to walk in the center, with Aaron at his right, Eleazar at his left, then the elders at both sides, and the people following in the rear. Upon arriving within the Tabernacle, Aaron would seat himself as the very nearest at Moses' right hand, Eleazar at his left, and the elders and princes in front. On this day, however, Moses changed this order; Aaron walked in the center, Moses at his right hand, Eleazar at his left, the elders and princes at both sides, and the rest of the people following.

The Platoon Leader

 

"A platoon leader doesn't get his platoon to go by getting up and shouting, 'I am smarter. I am bigger. I am stronger. I am the leader.'  He gets them to go along with him because they want to do it for him and they believe in him." --Dwight D. Eisenhower
