More From Tavis Smiley

There is at the moment in the world a battle going on between those who are pursuing materialistic paths-globalizers of economic growth and those hell-bent on this 'big is better' idea-on the one hand, and on the other hand those who are dedicated to spiritual renewal, more small-scale development, more human scale, more sustainability, more crafts and arts. where human beings are not just sold to companies and money and those kinds of things. where human beings have a sacred path.

One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. when he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good - he and the world is saved. when he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the bad - he and the world is destroyed.
Evil Balance Doe
I don’t know why life isn’t constructed to be seamless and safe, why we make such glaring mistakes, things fall so short of our expectations, and our hearts get broken and out kids do scary things and our parents get old and don’t always remember to put pants on before they go out for a stroll. i don’t know why it’s not more like it is in the movies, why things don’t come out neatly and lessons can’t be learned when you’re in the mood for learning them, why love and grace often come in such motley packaging.

This is not a skill problem, this is a will problem. does america have the will to make education a priority? we know the things that work. why don't we scale up those things that do work.

Every form has its own meaning. every man creates his meaning and form and goal. why is it so important - what others have done? why does it become sacred by the mere fact of not being your own? why is anyone and everyone right - so long as it's not yourself? why does the number of those others take the place of truth? why is truth made a mere matter of arithmetic - and only of addition at that? why is everything twisted out of all sense to fit everything else? there must be some reason. i don't know. i've never known it. i'd like to understand.

Don't scale because you think there's a pot of gold over that rainbow. scale because you're ready and eager to do heroic work, every day, forever.

Once people start to think they've wasted parts of their life, or they're wasting their life as they speak, that means there's going to be great dramatic and comedic tension.

I try to deny myself any illusions or delusions, and i think that this perhaps entitles me to try and deny the same to others, at least as long as they refuse to keep their fantasies to themselves.

People think because you're private, you have something you don't want them to know.

I don't think i'm a risk-taker. i don't think any entrepreneur is. i think that's one of those myths of commerce. the new entrepreneur is more values-led: you do what looks risky to other people because that's what your convictions tell you to do. other companies would say i'm taking risks, but that's my path - it doesn't feel like risk to me.
