The Power of One

December 8, 2013

As we mark the death of Nelson Mandela, much has been said about his remarkable achievement, his life story, his politics, his tactics, his tenacity and courage.  He is fittingly celebrated for his unwavering commitment to and the success of his mission to right the iniquitous wrong of apartheid. But we must not overlook another of his gifts to us:  he reminds us of the potential and opportunity we each hold to make positive change, and the ability of human will to triumph over adversity.  He exemplified the power of individual thought and intention, directed into action, and the inevitability … [Read more...]

The Steve Jobs Conundrum: Difficult People With Great Accomplishments

March 26, 2012

Over the winter I read the authorized biography of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, written by Walter Isaacson (Simon & Schuster 2011).   And I have been puzzling for two months now over this question:  How to reconcile the nasty, very often heartless, and narcissistic traits of Steve Jobs with his great accomplishments.  What explains, or justifies, success at the expense of others, and how do we integrate this into a spiritual understanding of how to succeed as whole individuals, spiritually and morally developed?
