i believe

during the course of this week i was put in a situation wherein i had to deliver a speech defining the essentials of what i believe. i find that difficult to do in english, so to push it out in hebrew was quite a challenge.

אני מאמין
אני מאמין שאין דבר גדול שבן אדם לא יכול להשיג... אלא לא תמיד בדרך המתוכננת, אלא אם הוא לא תמיד יראה את תוצאות פעולותיו בזמן האמת - העיקר שיראה אותן בראש, ובראשו במה שהוא מקיים ביום יום.

בן אדם חכם יכול להצדיק את כל מעשיו.

מסלו: מעבר לצורכים הביולוגיים כל בן אדם שואף להוכיח לעצמו את כוחו והשפעתו. הרבה יותר קשה להשפיע למען הטוב, להציל ולבנות בניגוד ללזלזל ולהזיק. יותר קל לשרוף את הספר מלחיות לפיו.

ההחלטה הקשה ביותר היא מתי לבחור את הדרך הקלה.

"citizen"-ו "civilian" ההבדל בין
הרוויח את זכויותיו "citizen"-הוא שה


בן אדם ללא עקרונות הוא רק חצי בן אדם, אבל כל בן אדם צריך להיות מוכן לעמוד בביקורת של עקרונותיו. עדיף להיות חצי בן אדם מלעמוד על עקרונות שלא עברו ביקורת - כלומר על כל בן אדם לוודא שהוא באמת מאמין בהם.



i believe
i believe that there is no great thing that a man cannot achieve... although not always by the intended method, and even if he won't always see the results of his actions in real time - what's important is that he sees the results in his mind, and in the actions that he performs everyday.

a smart man can justify all of his actions.

maslow: of greater import than his physiological needs is man's aspiration to prove to himself his strength and his influence. it's far more difficult to influence for good, to save and to build as opposed to degrade and to damage.
it is easier to burn the book than to live according to it.

the most difficult decision to make is when to choose the easier path.

the difference between a civilian and a citizen* is that the citizen earns his rights.

a man without principles is only half a man, but every person needs to be ready to undergo re-evaluation of his principles. it is better to be half a man than to stand on principles that haven't been fully tested; in other words, it is the responsibility of every person to ensure that he really believes in what he stands for.


* there's only one word in hebrew for civilian and citizen (אזרח)
