More From Colin Powell

I think it's possible for me to approach the whole problem with a broader scope.when you look at something through an, an organizational eye, whether it's a, a religious organization, political organization, or a civic organization, if you look at it only through the eye of that organization, you see what the organization wants you to see. but you lose your ability to be objective.

Why, just a couple of economic seasons ago, was idle cash considered an indication of bad management or lazy management? because it meant that management didn't have this money out at work ... now look. presto! a new fashion! cash is back in! denigrating liquidity has dropped quicker than hemlines. a management is now saluted if it has some cash, some liquidity, doesn't have to go to the money market at huge interest rates to get the wherewithal to keep going and growing. along with ben franklin, my father and your father would understand and applaud this new economic fashion.

There's nothing wrong with having a plan. plans are great. but missions are better. missions survive when plans fail, and plans almost always fail.

The law of attraction ensures that you start attracting more of what you want into your life instead of what you don't want or instead of what always has been. the highest functioning people never even put their energy on what is if they don't like what is. that's an important difference, because most people who have a lot of "problems" in their life are constantly talking about them and focusing on them, so they just keep attracting more of those circumstances into their lives because that's where their thoughts are.

And even if we win, if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from mohawk because they've got all the money! it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!

The distance between number one and number two is always a constant. if you want to improve the organization, you have to improve yourself and the organization gets pulled up with you. that is a big lesson. i cannot just expect the organization to improve if i don't improve myself and lift the organization, because that distance is a constant.

I would like to address the peoples of the world, especially the arab peoples and the us people. their silence over the violations against the oppressed iraqi people who suffered greatly cannot be accepted by any fair-minded and zealous person. therefore, all must take these violations seriously and express themselves even through peaceful demonstrations, sit-ins and protests. i urge those people to distance themselves from their rulers who support the west and the occupation forces.

The universe seems to me infinitely strange and foreign. at such a moment i gaze upon it with a mixture of anguish and euphoria; separate from the universe, as though placed at a certain distance outside it; i look and i see pictures, creatures that move in a kind of timeless time and spaceless space, emitting sounds that are a kind of language i no longer understand or ever register.

Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic.

And as paralyzing and upsetting as all the never agains were, the final leaving felt perfect. pure. the most distilled possible form of liberation. everything that mattered except one lousy picture was in the trash, but it felt so great. i started jogging, wanting to put even more distance between myself and school. it is so hard to leave—until you leave. and then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.
