VIOLENCE: "First imitation, then identification" (source) - Grossman & DeGaetano details

GAMES: "Social networks are like cocktail parties: You bring all these people together and there's nothing to do... We've given them something to do, created interaction and this entire virtual-goods system." (source) - Mark Pincus details

ADVENTURE: "I deal with temptation by yielding to it" - Mark Twain details

CURIOSITY: "the important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when contemplating the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of the mystery every day. The important thing is not to stop questioning; never lose a holy curiosity." (source) - Albert Einstein details

ENLIGHTENMENT: "When I was young, I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in the soc. So I stopped wearing socks." (source) - Albert Einstein details

PUBLIC RELATIONS: “Let me make the statement, therefore, calmly and carefully, that domestic disloyalty, the hostility of neutrals, and the lies of the German propagandists, all combined, were not half so hard to combat as the persistent malignance of a partisan group in the Congress of the United States. … One might as well have babbled about establishing “closer relations” with a water-moccasin.” – How We Advertised America, pg 51 - George Creel details

PUBLIC RELATIONS: “My work as a press agent on Broadway, the entertainment center of the nation, was an ideal existence for a young man of twenty-three who had been judging cows in a cattle ring and passing tests in agronomy. I hobnobbed with actors and acresses whose names shone on marquees; I went backstage whenever I wanted to, had free run of most theaters to catch a glimpse of an act, had the privilege of writing pieces for the press, worked with glamorous newspaper people, and, best of all, I was independent to think and act on any notion that seemed to have merit as a promotional idea. And for this I received seventy-five dollars a week.” – biography of an idea: memoirs of public relations counsel Edward L. Bernays - Edward L. Bernays details

ADVERTISING:

“I hear you are working hard,” Mr. Bissell said to me one day.

I replied, “I should work hard, for I have so many easy months.”

He insisted on the details, and he learned that I was leaving my office at two o’clock in the morning and appearing again at eight. Like all big men whom I have known, he was a tremendous worker. He had always done the average work of three men. So the hours that I kept gave him interest in me, and he urged me to join his office force.

In the early stages of our careers none can judge us by results. The shallow men judge us by likings, but they are not men to tie to. The real men judge us by our love of work, the basis of their success. They employ us for work, and our capacity for work counts above all else.

My Life In Advertising Pg 41

SOCIAL SOFTWARE: "Here's the thing: brands do not listen. People listen. And not only do they listen, they respond." - Twitterville - Shel Israel details

COMMUNICATION:

“Terminal niceness,” is how she describes an aspect of Xerox’s culture, during her all-hands speech. “We are really, really, really nice.” Maybe the “Xerox family,” she says, should act a bit more like a real family. “When we’re in the family, you don’t have to be as nice as when you’re outside of the family,” she says. “I want us to stay civil and kind, but we have to be frank — and the reason we can be frank is because we are all in the same family.” Nods of recognition ripple across the audience.

- Ursula Burns quoted in the New York Times

SOCIOLOGY: "The term mutual reciprocity refers to the give and take associated with any human relationship. It says that, for a relationship to be healthy, the giving and the taking must eventually balance – much like a bank statement. The Law of Mutual Reciprocity says that, to the degree you give others what they need, they will tend to give you what you need. If you treat people right, they will tend to treat you right…" - Absolute Honesty, Johnson Phillips, Page 97 - Larry Johnson, Bob Phillips details

COMMUNICATION: There’s still not enough candor in this company. [By that] I mean facing reality, seeing the world as it is rather than as you wish it were. We’ve seen over and over again that businesses facing market downturns, tough competitions, and more demanding customers inevitably make forecasts that are much too optimistic. This means they don’t take advantage of the opportunities that change usually offers. Change in the marketplace isn’t something to fear; it’s an enormous opportunity to shuffle the deck, to replay the game. Candid managers – leaders – don’t get paralyzed about the fragility of the organization. They tell people the truth. That doesn’t scare them because they realize their people know the truth anyway.” – Jack Welch, Harvard Business Review, then CEO of GE (quoted in Absolute Honesty, page 120) - Jack Welch details

SOCIOLOGY: "I once watched a highly intelligent Pueblo Indian engaged in intercultural education programs struggle and sweat to put into words a problem he and his people were having to cope with. Whenever a white man is put down in the middle of a pueblo, the Indians must cope with his narcissism as expressed by his almost total preoccupation with how HE is doing (providing he is well motivated) or how he is being treated (if he is less idealistic). Regardless of motives, behavior of this sort is threatening and disruptive to Pueblo life, because the Indians are just the opposite. Their concern is not with themselves but with the group and how the group is faring. The Indians see what we call narcissism in all whites – a trait that goes far beyond and is much more inclusive than self-love and individual differences. Since the Pueblo Indians themselves are not this way, how can they describe what they themselves do not include in their experience? And what does the well-motivated concerned white man do when he has devoted much of his life to “helping” the Indians only to discover that cultural insight reveals him as a disruptive force in Pueblo life, even though he considers himself an ally? Why hadn’t any of his Pueblo friends told him this?" - Beyond Culture, Edward T. Hall, pg 153, Copyright 1976 - Edward T. Hall details

HUMAN CAPITAL: "Hire good people. Train the hell out of them. Let them run." - Ed Schipul details

LIFE: “… everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” – Man’s Search for Meaning, pg 75 - Viktor Frankl details

SUCCESS: “It is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future – sub specie aeternitatis. And this is his salvation in the most difficult moments of his existence, although he sometimes has to force his mind to the task.” – Man’s Search for Meaning, pg 81 - Viktor Frankl details

INNOVATION: �As a society declines, it becomes more polarized as factions stake out turf they can cling to. Here, you have a choice. You can either embrace the widening middle ground now opening up between the polarities or exploit the passions on the extremes. Organizations that follow the latter course will look and feel more traditional and be able to cash in on the loyalty of a fervent customer base. The problem is that this direction has a short life span: it is not where the society is headed over the next twenty to thirty years. RenGenners can be found in the middle ground. But hitching your star to the RenGen movement means committing - Patricia Martin details

PERSONAL BRANDING: "... even mocking people helped their face stats. In the reputation economy, the only real way to hurt anyone was to ignore them completely." - EXTRAS, pg 40 - Scott Westerfield details

PERSONAL BRANDING: "...they voted for the reputation economy instead. From now on, merits and face ranks would decide who got the best mansions, the most carbon emissions, the biggest wall allowances... You could use all the resources you wanted, as long as you captured the city's collective imagination." - EXTRAS, pg 33 - Scott Westerfield details

THINKING:

Fuzzy thinking is justifiable at times. There is always fuzz during periods of conceptualization. If ideas are clear and sharp, then they are not new. The thinking has already been done.- William Wayne Caudill, FAIA
