Wandering Into Wisdom

This blog chronicles the knowledge, insight and wisdom I encounter every day as a leadership consultant, executive coach, educator, father, friend and citizen. This site is dedicated to my father, Louis (Jack) Laughlin, who passed on to me an appreciation for wisdom. A special thanks to my friend Isaac Cheifetz, a businessman and journalist, who helped me understand the value of blogs and encouraged me to write one.

Suffering

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."
 - Khalil Gibran

New Decade's Resolution

"Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year and underestimate what they can accomplish in a decade."
 - Tony Robbins

Possession of a Another Kind

“A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses; it is an idea that possesses the mind”
 - Robert Oxton Bolton

The Best You Can Be

“Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.”
 - William Faulkner

Specific Gravity

"for it is the mark of an educated man to look for precision in each class of things just so far as the nature of the subject admits."
 - Aristotle
