A book, I was taught long ago in English class, is a living and breathing document that grows richer with each new reading.

I interviewed one of the most powerful lawyers in the world and he told me, "At the time, it was the worst thing in the world not to be able to get a job at a fancy law firm, but it's the greatest thing that ever happened in my life." It was a humble acknowledgment of how forces much larger than himself shaped his career. I really wanted to bring that point home.

A lot of what is most beautiful about the world arises from struggle.

People are experience-rich and theory-poor. I help people organize / make sense of their experiences.

The values of the world we inhabit and the people we surround ourselves with have a profound effect on who we are.

I should point out that I have a picture of Asbel Kiprop as the screensaver on my phone. Is that embarrassing?

People who bring transformative change have courage, know how to re-frame the problem and have a sense of urgency.
