L'optimisme, ce n'est pas le refus de voir ce qui ne va pas, c'est le désir de ne pas s'y attarder. // Donne moi le courage de changer les choses que je peux changer, la sérénité d'accepter celles que je ne peux pas changer, et la sagesse de distinguer entre les deux. (Marc Aurèle) // Don't raise your voice; improve your argument. (Desmond Tutu) // Be the change you want to see in the world. (Gandhi)

When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. 
They said "Let us pray".
We closed our eyes.
When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.

The organization is clean and simple to understand, and very accountable. Everything just got simpler. That's been one of my mantras -- focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.

Done vs Perfect

Done is Better than Perfect 
Move Fast and Break Things
 (2 mottos from Facebook)
De la solitude pour mieux se retrouver. 
   (Bear)
... avec soi, avec les autres..
....
Tout ceci n'a qu'un temps 
Vivre dans l'excès à plein temps 
Oh! cesse de perdre ton temps 
Ou bien de brasser du vent 
Put down da gun down
...
    (NTM, Pose ton gun - lyrics)
We tend to focus much more.
People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. 
But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. 
You have to pick carefully. 
I'm actually as proud of many of the things we haven't done as the things we have done. 
 (Steve Job)
My job is to not be easy on people. 
My job is to make them better. 
My job is to pull things together from different parts of the company and clear the ways and get the resources for the key projects. 
And to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better, coming up with more aggressive visions of how it could be.
   (Steve Jobs)

Un jour, monsieur Hollande a dit que j'incarnais physiquement l'impôt. 
Désormais, il fait mieux que moi.
   (Alain Juppé)
That's why I dropped the ‘interim’ from my title. 
I'm still called iCEO, though, because I think it's cool.
(Steve Jobs,  Fortune, Jan. 24 2000)
    Why not iCEO - as iPad, iphone, ipod, iPay... 



Vu "Mon beau-père est une princesse". 
Bon moment. Quelques bonnes répliques. 
Un excellent Michel Aumont et un Didier Bénureau qui fait du (bon) Bénureau.

On ne va jamais aussi loin que lorsqu'on ne sait pas où l'on va.
    (Christophe Colomb)
Christophe Colomb fut le premier socialiste :
il ne savait pas où il allait, 
il ignorait où il se trouvait... 
et il faisait tout ça aux frais du contribuable 
    (Winston Churchill)

My pain me be the reason for somebody's laugh.
But my Laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain.

Les Français préfèrent un mensonge bien dit à une vérité mal formulée.
