The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. the human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.
