“Ideas, as distinguished from events, are never unprecedented.”
– Hannah Arendt, German born American philosopher and writer (1906 – 1975)
“Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with unforeseeable and the unpredictable.”
– General George S. Patton, (1885 -1945)
Because ideas are the currency of difference makers. If there are unpredictable, unforeseen events that affect us (that would be um, every day, right?), ideas are what will get us through.
Ideas can and should be steeped in the learning that came before this moment, but they shouldn’t be shackled to the past. It’s not about the event. It’s not always about the outcome. It is always about what. We. Do. Next!
Ideas are the currency of difference makers.
It’s time to invest, and to watch that investment grow.
