Smile Newsletter: Bridges, Second Chance, PickPocket
August 28, 2011
“This morning, as I got dressed for work, I chose one of my favorite necklaces. I do not wear it often because I want to hold onto it for a long time. When I got to work, I was walking though a doorway and a woman stopped me and said, ‘I love your necklace.’Â I stopped walking to talk to her for a few minutes as she admired it and told me how great it looked on me. I recalled the many mornings that she has spoken to me with a smile and then remembered something that my mom taught me. ‘You only give to others things that you would want to have.’Â As this thought ran through my mind, I unfastened the necklace from around my neck and told her she could have it. As I walked off I told her that a blessing given is a blessing received.” — hasifa
Study, Practice and Serve: Peter Senge
August 28, 2011People with high levels of personal mastery cannot afford to choose between reason and intuition, or head and heart, any more than they would choose to walk on one leg or see with one eye. — Peter Senge

Good News of the Day:
Peter Senge is a senior lecturer at MIT, and the author of The Fifth Discipline: the Art and Practice of the Learning Organization. The Journal of Business Strategy named Senge one of the greatest influences on business strategy over the last 100 years. In this dialogue with Dr. Prasad Kaipa, Senge talks about how his own internal development helped him develop a perspective on systems theory: “I think the terminology I would use is ‘a continuous process of reflection’. I’ve always thought of only two questions that have mattered to me personally. One is what is really needed in the world and the second is what’s really important to me and how these two intersect. It’s always been a reflective process — spiraling around these two poles.” http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4717
