"To find yourself, think for yourself."
Socrates
Advice about "finding" one's self has a decidedly hippy feel to it but Socrates wasn't talking flower power when he said that 400 years before the birth of Christ.
In business, substitute being a successful leader for "finding yourself", and to do that you must assimilate all the quality input you can prior to reaching decisions as to not only what it means, but what you should do as a result.
Thinking for yourself, what do you think?
socrates was a hippy? i didn't know that.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding?
ReplyDeleteWhile not every hippy is a philosopher, every philosopher is, at heart, a hippy.
