More From Peter Drucker

I'm not a believer in predetermined fates, being rewarded for one's efforts. i'm not a believer in karma. the reason why i try to be a good person is because i think it's the right thing to do. if i commit fewer bad acts there will be fewer bad acts, maybe other people will join in committing fewer bad acts, and in time there will be fewer and fewer of them.
Karma Fate Thinking
There is so much information that our ability to focus on any piece of it is interrupted by other information, so that we bathe in information but hardly absorb or analyse it. data are interrupted by other data before we've thought about the first round, and contemplating three streams of data at once may be a way to think about none of them.
Thinking Data Focus
We are ... led to a somewhat vague distinction between what we may call "hard" data and "soft" data. this distinction is a matter of degree, and must not be pressed; but if not taken too seriously it may help to make the situation clear. i mean by "hard" data those which resist the solvent influence of critical reflection, and by "soft" data those which, under the operation of this process, become to our minds more or less doubtful.
Taken Mean Science
Random search for data on ... off-chance is hardly scientific. a questionnaire on 'intellectual immoralities' was circulated by a well-known institution. 'intellectual immorality no. 4' read: 'generalizing beyond one's data'. [wilder dwight] bancroft asked whether it would not be more correct to word question no. 4 'not generalizing beyond one's data.

But sorrow is better than fear. for fear impoverishes always, while sorrow may enrich.
Sorrow May Cry The Beloved Country
I think there's data, and then there's information that comes from data, and then there's knowledge that comes from information. and then, after knowledge, there is wisdom. i am interested in how to get from data to wisdom.

I think the law changes, which is a nice luxury.
Nice Thinking Law
What if it is for life's sake that we must die? in truth we are not individuals; and it is because we think ourselves such that death seems unforgivable. we are temporary organs of the race, cells in the body of life; we die and drop away that life may remain young and strong. if we were to live forever, growth would be stifled, and youth would find no room on earth. death, like style, is the removal of rubbish, the circumcision of the superfluous. in the midst of death life renews itself immortally.
Strong Struggle Thinking
I started resenting how much art robs from life. i'd go to a party and i couldn't enjoy myself, even sexually. all i could think was how i was going to reinvent the experience into a piece of art.
Art Thinking Pieces
One nuclear war is going to be the last nuclear - the last war, frankly, if it really gets out of hand. and i just don't think we ought to be prepared to accept that sort of thing.
