Even in their workshop, and they always came out clean. How about that.

If you want to build a ship…

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum to the women and men to gather wood, and divide the work, and give orders.

Instead, teach them to year for the vast and endless sea.

–Antoine De Saint-Exupery, “The Wisdom of the Sands”

A leader is best when…

October 19, 2009 by craigrmeyer

A leader is best when people barely know he exists.

Not so good when people obey and acclaim him.

Worse when they despise him.

Fail to honor people and they fail to honor you.

But of a good leader who talks little,

when her work is done, his aim fulfilled,

the people will say “We did this ourselves.”

–Lao Tzu

Waking up earlier than necessary

October 2, 2009 by craigrmeyer

For the past couple weeks I’ve been spontaneously waking up, like at 5:30am, which is way earlier than I plan or intend.

And it’s not because I’m going to bed earlier.  Oh no.  Last night it was midnight, ferdingdangs.  I’ve got dark circles under my eyes and everything… but still not sleeping until the alarm goes off.

(Alcohol has not been involved, I’m happy to report.)

Have you ever gone through something like this?  What turned out to be the cause?  What was it about?
