The Monday Morning Memo

“A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts.”
– Sir Joshua Reynolds

“To accomplish the miraculous, you must attempt the ridiculous. Don Quixote is the icon of every individual who is willing to pay that price. In Cervantes’ book of 1605, Quixote never meets Dulcinea, but everything he suffers and accomplishes is in her name and for her honor. In the eyes of everyone else, she is a common village girl with nothing special about her. But Quixote sees beauty where others do not. Is he crazy? Perhaps. But isn’t every entrepreneur who has a dream?” – Roy H. Williams

“When others speak of ‘chasing windmills,’ they’re talking about a futile gesture. But when we speak of ‘chasing a windmill,’ we’re talking about finding your purpose. Don Quixote is, for us, not a madman but a role model.” – Pennie Williams, speaking of Wizard Academy alumni, Sept. 23, 2014

Random Quote:

“Something hit me very hard once, thinking about what one little man could do. Think of the Queen Mary — the whole ship goes by and then comes the rudder. And there’s a tiny thing at the edge of the rudder called a trim tab. It’s a miniature rudder. Just moving the little trim tab builds a low pressure that pulls the rudder around. Takes almost no effort at all. So I said that the little individual can be a trim tab. Society thinks it’s going right by you, that it’s left you altogether. But if you’re doing dynamic things mentally, the fact is that you can just put your foot out like that and the whole big ship of state is going to go. So I said, call me Trim Tab.”

- Buckminster Fuller
