Spirituality in the Workplace - Wisdom and Fun

Spirituality in the Workplace - Wisdom and Fun

A few months back, I finally started the practice of storytelling to share and disseminate knowledge - officially that is. I wrote a longish story to talk about KM per se to start with. I sent it across to a friend & colleague for review and he came back and suggested that we send out short stories to the organization about KM. That seemed to be a good idea as people don't really have the time and patience to read anything lengthier than a page! I've sent out stories, on knowledge sharing, collective thinking, listening, documentation etc. I've lined up another story today and in the process went looking for some relevant and inspiring quotes. That's when I hit upon this site above! It's a very nice one. Let me splatter here some of the quotes that strike me hard....

******************************
Inner commitment to your own excellence is the stuff of which miracles are made (Everyday Wisdom)

There are no mistakes, only lessons - Growth is a process of trial and error (experimentation). The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".


Quality rather than appearance . . . Ethics rather than rules . . . Knowledge rather than achievement . . . Integrity rather than domination . . . Serenity rather than acquisitions (Everyday Wisdom)

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Knowledge increases in proportion to its use; that is, the more we teach the more we learn. - H. P. Blavatsky (1831-1891)

Give the World the Best You Have People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered; Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today, will be forgotten tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable;
Be honest and frank anyway.

Give the world the best you have to give and you get kicked in the teeth; Give the world the best you have anyway.
— Ken Keyes
