Knowing Oneself Is Not So Much A

Since The Purpose Of Business Is To Satisfy Existing Desires, Or Stimulate New Ones, If Everyone Were Genuinely Happy, There Would Be No Need For Business Any Longer.

The Foremost Reason That Happiness Is So Hard To Achieve Is That The Universe Was Not Designed With The Comfort Of Human Beings In Mind...it Seems That Every Time A Pressing Danger Is Avoided A New And More Sophisticated Threat Appears On The Horizon...whether We Are Happy Depends On Inner Harmony, Not On The Controls We Are Able To Exert Over The Great Forces Of The Universe

...in The Words Of Max Depree: "management Has A Lot To Do With Answers. But Leadership Is A Function Of Questions. And The First Question For A Leader Always Is: 'who Do We Intend To Be?' Not 'what Are We Going To Do?' But 'who Do We Intend To Be?'"

Other Things Equal, A Life Filled With Complex Flow Activities Is More Worth Living Than One Spent Consuming Passive Entertainment.

To Know Oneself Is The First Step Toward Making Flow A Part Of One's Entire Life. But Just As There Is No Free Lunch In The Material Economy, Nothing Comes Free In The Psychic One. If One Is Not Willing To Invest Psychic Energy In The Internal Reality Of Consciousness, And Instead Squanders It In Chasing External Rewards, One Loses Mastery Of One's Life, And Ends Up Becoming A Puppet Of Circumstances.
