If, as I suggested before, the ability to tell right from wrong should turn out to have anything to do with the ability to think, then we must be able to “demand” its exercise from every sane person, no matter how erudite or ignorant, intelligent or stupid, he may happen to be.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Life of the Mind, Vol. 1 “Thinking,” Introduction (1977)

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

There were times that called for mindless, terror-filled panic, and times that called for measured, considered, thoughtful panic.

A quotation from Henry Commager

When a people are confronted with problems that are both incomprehensible and unbearable, they lash out not at those who contrived the problems but at those who expose them. When they are confronted by moral problems that they find insoluble, or perhaps intolerable, they blame the moralists. The anxieties, tensions, revulsions of our day create an atmosphere in which it is almost impossible to think clearly and dispassionately about just those problems which most imperatively require reason and objectivity — problems of adjustment to fundamental change.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Speech (1971-04-10), “The University and the Community of Learning,” Kent State University, Ohio

1) My teenage son, who has been working as a lifeguard for a couple of years, saved a swimmer in distress for the first time. He told me how his training kicked in, and I felt so proud of him.

2) A thoughtful colleague is going out of her way to help me with a professional difficulty.

3) This Studio Choom video of VIVIZ looking so elegant in their black outfits as they perform "La La Love Me" renews the joy I take in being a fan of Kpop:

How Steve Jobs wrote the greatest commencement speech ever…

Steven Levy has one of the best reads of this week: How Steve Jobs Wrote the Greatest Commencement Speech Ever. People might disagree, but it moved me when I first heard. I wish I’d heard it during my own graduation in 2005. But, I first listened to this in 2006 after Google acquired YouTube and I started using YouTube a lot more. It was mesmerizing.

I have not stayed true to every recommendation from Steve in the speech. However, it changed me to pursue a life in technology, make a dent in the universe and stay true to leaving the world a better place. I am inventing my own future, finally.

Steve Jobs Archive also released a great set of emails that Steve emailed himself as he prepared and thought about this for almost 6 months. Honestly, this was the most interesting part of the email archive and the article. It shows Steve not as the sure-footed master presenter as we often got to see him. It highlights a thoughtful person who’s trusting the process of moving the needle forward a day at a time. Thoughtfulness is a skill. It requires time, practice and I really wish I’d started it sooner than I have.

Somehow, the overall layout of Steven Hassan’s #FreedomOfMind website on #InfluenceContinuum and #UndueInfluence triggers a gut reaction about #MotivationalSpeakers and #SocialMediaInfluencers. Yet it sounds like the content is right up my alley in terms of #CriticalThinking and #Thoughtfulness.

We live with our biases.
