Goal Quotes
If the Negro is to achieve the goal of integration, he must organize himself into a militant and nonviolent mass movement.

Strip away all the assumptions about what competition is supposed to do, all the claims in its behalf that we accept and repeat reflexively. What you have left is the essence of the concept: mutually exclusive goal attainment (MEGA). One person succeeds only if another does not.

How can we do our best when we are spending our energies trying to make others lose--and fearing that they will make us lose?
Alfie Kohn

Mahatma Gandhi
Cutting through complexity to find a solution runs through four predictable stages: determine a goal, find the highest-leverage approach, discover the ideal technology for that approach, and in the meantime, make the smartest application of the technology that you already have - whether it's something sophisticated, like a drug, or something simpler, like a bednet.
