Standards Set Being The Best Lows

More From Henry Mintzberg

Only the mediocre are always at their best. if your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. but if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. it is okay to not win every game. the only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. if you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.

There is a certain standard of grace and beauty which consists in a certain relation between our nature, such as it is, weak or strong, and the thing which pleases us. whatever is formed according to this standard pleases us, be it house, song, discourse, verse, prose, woman, birds, rivers, trees, room, dress, and so on. whatever is not made according to this standard displeases those who have good taste.

We have a large underclass in britain, and a fairly low standard of education. our best universities are extremely good, but a very significant proportion of the british population that comes out of compulsory schooling with very low standards of education.
Education Population Significant
The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit. in the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. there is no safe store of value. deficit spending is simply a scheme for the hidden confiscation of wealth. gold stands in the way of this insidious process. it stands as a protector of property rights. if one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.
Mean Rights Understanding
In truth, the gold standard is already a barbarous relic. all of us, from the governor of the bank of england downwards, are now primarily interested in preserving the stability of business, prices, and employment, and are not likely, when the choice is forced on us, deliberately to sacrifice these to outworn dogma, which had its value once, of 3 pounds, 17 shill ings, 10 1/2 pence per ounce. advocates of the ancient standard do not observe how remote it now is from the spirit and the requirements of the age. a regulated nonmetallic standard has slipped in unnoticed. it exists.
Sacrifice Choices Age
We have to decide whether our fear is going to get the better of us. once upon a time we had a standard in our country that was 'innocent until proven guilty.' we've given up on so much. now, people are talking about a standard that is 'if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.' think about it. is that the standard we're willing to live under?

I know media is not necessarily focused on these things. but what a campaign is about is not hillary clinton, it's not donald trump. it is the people of this country, people who are working longer hours for lower wages, people who do not have health care or are underinsured.
Country Media People
The ways of change are dictated by the circumstances of each country, each place and each time. i don't think that arrogant intellectuals should be dictating to the people which way they should be heading. i think we should be listening to the people, see in which directions things are developing. people are walking where they can, not where they want to. but they are walking!
Country Thinking People
You have this giant institution called the united states media that was fully aware of the real reason behind open borders, mass immigration, and they're not fazed by it. they are not fazed by any of the dubious, any of the criminal, any of the catastrophically wrong, any of the catastrophically potentially damaging behavior on the part of the democrats. it won't even be reported on. it won't even be referenced. and, as such, there's a certain percentage of the country that's never going to know what you and i know.

Following the second world war, we are a country of one ethnicity. after the moving of the borders, after the tragedy of the holocaust and the murder of polish jews, we don't have large minority groups.
