“In the Human society, we don’t have sticks. Here, an ideal leader is the person who develops the group and encourages them. It is based on the principle that people are doing their best and if they are failing then it means they need more support, guidance or development. People prefer to be encouraged, supported and rewarded, rather than being beaten. Of course there are standards to reach and benchmarks must be set and the consequences of not reaching them clarified.”
Steve Peters

Hanna Abi Akl
“and while love
is still our greatest
benchmark it puts us
in a grueling bout
against ourselves”
Hanna Abi Akl, Memory
