Blind Spots – Uncertainty - Inspirations

Some of the world’s most gifted people have left us simple yet powerful statements on uncertainty. These thoughts and inspirations can be applied to our current situation as we manage Covid19!

You must be the change you wish to see in the World

Mahatma Gandhi

If you can’t fly, then run

If you can’t run then walk

If you can’t walk, then crawl,

But by all means, keep moving

Martin Luther King Jr,

I am thankful to all who said no to me. It is because of them I am doing it myself

Albert Einstein.

To be a leader you have to jump into the ocean of uncertainty and lead the followers toward the known or unknown destination.

Debasish Mridha

Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull, routine and eminently unsatisfying.

John Paul Getty

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going ot happen next.

Gilda Radner

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

Voltaire

Courageous men never lose the zest for living even thought their life situation is zestless; cowardly men, overwhelmed but the uncertainties of life, lose the will to live. We must constantly build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Thomas Edison

My thoughts:

One obtains education through the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.

We gain experience through direct observation or participation in a specific activity.

Leaders acquire wisdom through the successful application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment.

The addition of humility, strength and courage enables us to realize and admit we don’t know what we don’t know. Empowering ourselves to succeed in uncertain times.
