The love of posterity is the consequence of necessity of death. If a species were sure of living forever, it wouldn't care about it's offspring

Be thankful for the troubles of your job. They provide about half your income. Because, if it were not for the the things that go wrong, the difficult people that you have to deal with, and the problems and unpleasantness of your working day, someone could be found to handle your job for half of what you are paid. It is a fact that there are plenty of big jobs waiting for men and women who aren't afraid of the troubles connected with them

- R. Gopalakrishnan in "The case of the bonsai manager"

Experience is not what happens to a man, it is what a man does with what happens to him

Surrender your biases. Look beyond your biases. You never know, your greatest inspiration or your life's purpose could be waiting behind those walls of bias you have built in your mind

It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it, the tree is the real thing. Our essential greatness is not the shadow of sophistication or popularity or wealth or power or fleeting celebrity, it is the tree that stands in the face of doubts and fears and bigotries and insists we can do better

We can constantly remake ourselves to fit our larger dreams

The ‘Napalm Girl’, 40 years later

Joe McNally, who was commissioned by LIFE magazine to find and photograph subjects of Pulitzer Prize winning photos, shot Kim Phuc – the girl running from an airborne attack in this devastatingly iconic shot during the Vietnam War.

The original photo was taken by AP photographer Nick Ut, and turned Kim into a propaganda tool for the anti-war movement.  Joe had the privilege of meeting and photographing Kim, who had recently given birth to her newborn son. Joe knew to treat the situation with care, since showcasing her scars from the napalm burn was significant.

“For me, doing this assignment reconfirmed so many things I’ve always believed about photography,” says Joe in his blog post “On a Road, 40 Years Ago“. “That photo made on that horrible day was made in less than a second. Yet a lifetime spun on its power. With so many photographs being taken everywhere, easily, and thoughtlessly, it’s easy to forget how powerful they can be, and occasionally are.” (via)

The only thing a sane person can do in a lunatic asylum is to pretend that he is as mad as others and at the first opportunity scale the walls and get out
