And there's an old saying in surgery which really is true: The first 10 years when you're in practice, you really learn how to operate. I mean, you do know how to operate, but you're getting the finer details, becoming more confident. The next 10 years, you know when to operate. You manage to get the judgment on deciding when to operate in tough situations.
And the last 10 years, which is probably the most important, is you when know not to operate, because what I do, if I have to operate on somebody, I mean, sure, I can help them very much, but I could also hurt them very much.

Strategy talent: To set the stage not to perform on it

For many, having a truly great boss is the exception rather than the rule.

That's because being one takes a seriously deft touch. You have to inspire people to succeed and give them the tools they need - all while meeting company dictates. 
Most of us assess how great a boss is by how he or she manages employees.
But in order to manage employees really well, a leader actually needs to master two other things first, said Harvard Business School Professor Linda Hill, the coauthor of two leadership books, "Being the Boss" and "Collective Genius."
One, Hill said, is to develop self-awareness, to know how others feel when they're with you. Are they scared of you? Do they trust you? Do they feel you trust them?
"It's always about the emotional connection," she said. "Being scared around you doesn't lead to your being respected."
The second is to successfully manage your network of colleagues and bosses over whom you have no authority but whose support you and your team will need to excel.
Think about it this way: Even if your employees love you, they'll become very frustrated if you're powerless to sell their ideas up the food chain.
CNNMoney asked readers to weigh in on what they think characterizes the best bosses. Three traits came up again and again in their comments.
Great leaders, they said:
1) Respect and appreciate their employees
They respect what you do, they respect your expertise and they respect the fact that you may have your own work style.
"Great bosses earn respect by giving respect," said one reader.
Bosses who say "thank you" came up a lot, too, as did bosses who publicly give credit where it's due, who welcome employees' input and feedback, and who recognize that employees are humans, not just "resources," as another reader put it.
2) Create trust and support
An excellent boss trusts you to do your job, has faith in your team, encourages your success, goes to bat for you and is always approachable.
"I would gladly follow [a wonderful boss] to another company if they left because working for them is a great experience. And you want to take on new challenges and risk because you know they have your back," said Colin Adams of Somerville, Mass.
Great bosses are also consistently ethical and fair, and they hire good people, readers said.
3) Give employees the backing and resources to do their jobs
A great boss provides clear guidance, coaching and structure but also the leeway to develop a sense ownership over your work.
And when something goes wrong, readers said, great bosses assess what happened and help you fix the situation rather than assign blame.
"[They'll] allow you to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes without throwing you under the bus," said Jim Langseth of Minnetrista, Minn.
Indeed, in her research, Hill found that people consistently said their best bosses were demanding but also extremely generous in terms of giving them the space to show their talents and giving them the benefit of the doubt when something goes wrong.

Hidden Life

“The Master doesn't try to be powerful;
thus he is truly powerful.
The ordinary man keeps reaching for power;
thus he never has enough.

The Master does nothing,
yet he leaves nothing undone.
The ordinary man is always ding things,
yet many more are left to be done.
[…]
Therefore the Master concerns himself
With the depths and not the surface,
With the fruit and not the flower.
[…]
Teaching without words,
Performing without actions:
That is the Master’s way.
[…]
The Master arrives without leaving,
Sees the light without looking,
Achieves without doing a thing.
[…]
The Master is above the people,
And no one feels oppressed.
She goes ahead of the people,
And no feels manipulated.
The whole world is grateful to her.
Because she completes with no one,
No one can complete with her.”
― Lao Tzu


cool and calm on the surface, but underneath it all is a nonstop struggle to succeed
dive deeper into your life, and discover what lies below the surface
see what is otherwise hidden
the need for such penetration of understanding
the future lies not with the predatory and the immune but with the sensitive who live dangerously
 to develop this sensitivity
the truly sensitive mind is both susceptible and penetrating: it is open to new ideas, and it seeks truth at the bottom of the wellIt is the development of this sort of mind which it should be the object of the educational process to cultivate

in all education principles are more important than examples, ideas than facts, and you cannot train the sensitive and penetrating mind except by exercising it in that direction.

God can do all things

The word "Omnipotence" derives from the Latin term "Omni Potens", meaning "All-Powerful" instead of "Infinite Power" implied by its English counterpart. The term could be applied to both deities and Roman Emperors. Being the one with "All the power", it was not uncommon for nobles to attempt to prove their Emperor's "Omni Potens" to the people, by demonstrating his effectiveness at leading the Empire.

Power is influence, and perfect power is perfect influence ... power must be exercised upon something, at least if by power we mean influence, control; but the something controlled cannot be absolutely inert, since the merely passive, that which has no active tendency of its own, is nothing; yet if the something acted upon is itself partly active, then there must be some resistance, however slight, to the "absolute" power, and how can power which is resisted be absolute?

"Witchcraft ... takes hold in people’s lives when people are less than fully open-hearted. All wickedness is ultimately because people hate each other or are jealous or suspicious or afraid. These emotions and motivations cause people to act antisocially". The response by the populace to the kɛmamɔi is that "they valued his work and would learn the lessons he came to teach them, about social responsibility and cooperation."

Modern interpretations[edit]

In his 2009 book, Magic and AlchemyRobert M. Place provides a broad modern definition of both black and white magic, preferring instead to refer to them as "high magic" (white) and "low magic" (black) based primarily on intentions of the practitioner employing them.[4] His modern definition maintains that the purpose of white magic is to "do good" or to "bring the practitioner to a higher spiritual state" of enlightenment or consciousness.[4] He acknowledges, though, that this broader definition (of "high" and "low") suffers from prejudices as good-intentioned folk magic may be considered "low" whileceremonial magic involving expensive or exclusive components may be considered by some as "high magic", regardless of intent.[4]
According to Place, effectively all prehistoric shamanistic magic was "helping" white magic and thus the basic essence of that magic forms the framework of modern white magic: curing illness or injury, divining the future or interpreting dreams, finding lost items, appeasing spirits, controlling weather or harvest and generating good luck or well-being.[4]
