to make all jobs creative
jobs, infusing service work,
manufacturing work, farming, and
every other form of human endeavor
with creativity
and human potential.”

to Sharing

12. “Now, a new era of sharing-based businesses
is beginning. Businesses as big as Netflix or
Zipcar, and as small as a guy who rents
Christmas trees, have figured out there is gold
in giving people convenient access to shared
goods.”
Lisa Gansky, “The Mesh: Why the
future of business is sharing”

14. Business says: “I’ll offer you a product
or service, in exchange for your
currency. You will have more.”
Betterness says: “Through the act of
exchange, I’ll ignite your human potential. You
will be and become better—fitter, smarter,
closer, wiser, tougher, humbler, truer, wealthier
in terms that add up
to a life meaningfully well lived.”

24. People do things a certain way "because
that's the way to get them done" instead
of "because we believe them right."
Compromise, going along with others, the spirit
of committees and all that it implies-- in
metropolitan areas, these characteristics have
been made to appear adult, mature, well-
adjusted.
tony@nwc.co • @tonybgoode • businessofcommunity.com
25. But euphemisms do little to disguise the fact
that people who do things because that's
the way to get along with others, instead
of doing what they believe in, do it
because it avoids coming to terms with
their own self, and standing on it, and
confronting others with it.

26. It is easy to defend this weakness of character
on the grounds of expediency.
But however many excuses are made for
it, in the end weakness of character
destroys a person; no one weak in
character can love himself.
The self-hate that it creates is not
a condition in which a person
can become whole.
tony@nwc.co • @tonybgoode • businessofcommunity.com
27. By contrast:
The person who becomes whole states his
own nature, visibly and outwardly, loud
and clear, for everyone to see.
He is not afraid of his own self; he stands up for
what he is; he is himself, proud of himself,
recognizing his shortcomings, trying to change
them, but still proud
of himself and glad to be himself.
- Christopher Alexander, “A Pattern
Language”
