55. Conflict’s a GOOD Thing

56. “Conflict is the gadfly of thought.
It stirs us to observation and
memory. It instigates to
invention. It shocks us out of
sheep like passivity, and sets us at
noting and contriving.”
John Dewey
Conflict’s a GOOD Thing

59. “Each problem has hidden in it an
opportunity so powerful that it
literally dwarfs the problem. The
greatest success stories were
created by people who recognized
a problem and turned it into an
opportunity.”
Joseph
Sugarman
