If you can inculcate in your team that every moment means everything, you can then step back to let them lead.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Peace is an idea born from hope and the desire to see your children raise a family, walk in a market, and engage in simple pleasures of everyday life without fear.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Chaos does not unify. Chaos only serves the most extreme elements of society that seek to destabilize any semblance of order to fulfill their selfish lust for power.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
My dad's life story was a string of kindness. He treated everyone as an equal, whether it was the bank teller or the bank president. He even attributed his survival to the courage of kindness.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
My dad was born in 1930 in Lithuania, located in Eastern Europe. He was 9 years old when the war started, and his family was sent to the Kovno ghetto. They were soon separated and sent to the Dachau concentration camp in Germany.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
My father is with me every day. Although he passed away in 2003, he continues to live on inside me and through me - at home and work, on crowded subway cars and busy sidewalks.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
No matter if we're in a contentious situation or simply engaging in an everyday interaction, we should aspire to have the strength to be kind always. If each of us shared this aspiration, we'd all be better off.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
As a society, we're failing to recognize something my dad knew to be true - that kindness is the greatest show of strength. Too often, we are led to believe that strength is best demonstrated by exerting dominance or superiority over others, while kindness is portrayed as the opposite - a sign of weakness.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Growing up, I heard a lot about strength. My dad - a Holocaust survivor - embodied it, though he would never say that about himself. Not only did he survive one of the most horrific events in history, but he never lost hope along the way, crediting acts of kindness with keeping him alive.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Russia and China have maintained that people prize stability over freedom and that as long as the central State creates conditions for economic growth, people will be complacent and will be willing to literally sell away their rights. In fact, this very economic growth will eventually catch up with these regimes.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Few times in history do totalitarian or authoritarian regimes successfully repress their people for more than two generations, and zero times in history do these regimes last much longer than that, relatively speaking.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Why stick to just prose or just music or just newspaper or just video? Why not create new models for information that combine elements of them all?
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
The advent of Kindle, the iPad, and other portable reading devices has so far simply resulted in turning analog print into digital print while keeping the same linear prose format.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
I was very proud to support Obama's presidential campaign, from the primaries all the way to his historic victory.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Civilized discourse demands critical thinking, self-reflexiveness, sober-headed analysis.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
America already suffers from a uniformed and increasingly polarized citizenry. FOX seems to eagerly exploit this dynamic, and in so doing, accentuate it.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Everyone that is not an ultra-conservative recognizes the irony of FOX's 'Fair and Balanced' moniker, which only accentuates its actual bias.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
As an independent skeptical of all news stations and wanting to understand diverse perspectives, I tend to navigate between CNN, ABC, PBS, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNBC, and yes, FOX.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Longer distances yield local media coverage that tends to be more one-dimensional and absolute, less nuanced, and more sporadic.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
While domestically the president may be able to somewhat reshape his/her image through defining moments and actions, this is far less feasible internationally.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Kindness boggles my mind. It's the only force in nature that increases simultaneously for the giver and the receiver.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
I'm never going to give up - it's part of my lifeblood to help, protect, and defend Israel.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
When you're bringing an idea to fruition, there are two distinct phases: the skeptic phase and the evangelist phase. During the first phase, you have to be willing to ask the hardest questions - is this idea worth pursuing? But once you are convinced, you flip a switch. It's about getting it done.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
We don't always know exactly what we're doing as parents. Children don't come with instruction manuals, as the saying goes. So it's important to me that I always question the choices I'm making as a father, to really stay alert and open to the balance between being too hard or too soft.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from - there's no substitute for hard work.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
I can't tell you exactly why my work ethic is the way that it is, but I know that I will always work harder than anyone else I know.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Only Americans vote for their president, but foreigners care almost as much - and sometimes more - about who will lead the most powerful nation in the world.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
I try hard to always question myself and wonder, 'What could I have done better? What did I do wrong?' The culture at our company is to be self-critical, but you have to balance that as a leader with praise for your team.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
When you're nice, you're not bullying people. But when you're kind, you stand up against the bully.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
The truth is that a campaign defines how the electorate will see their president - and this all the more true when shaping the president's image in the eyes of the largest constituency that will actually not vote for them: the international community.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
The reason people buy Kind bars is that they're delicious and they're healthful. If the product doesn't taste good, isn't the right price, or doesn't fit their lifestyle choice, even if it's made by Mother Teresa, it's not going to work out.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
I have a whole section of a filing cabinet in my office full of ideas. Some are ideas for books or articles I want to write. One is a romantic comedy; one's about my dad's life. I've also got ideas for books on moral relativism as well as democracy and human nature. There's also a really cool concept for a spy novel.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Learning how to contract your power and personality is of incredible importance.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
For me, empathy is an existential question - it's about the survival of the human race. That is, it's imperative for us to overcome the challenges we face.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Relying on the power of kindness is a sensitive undertaking. The challenge is to inspire people to be kind more often without tainting the selflessness that comes from doing something nice with no ulterior motive.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
The Kind Foundation was created to scale our social impact and be able to deepen our focus on fostering empathy and developing kinder communities.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Unless we can join forces and recognize each other's humanity, how can we do business together, let alone make progress on the increasingly complex and difficult problems in society?
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
I cannot think of any venture I have initiated where an earlier failure wasn't an important precursor to an eventual success.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
We strive for a culture of constant communication. Team members know in real time if there are performance issues. Team leaders know in real time if a team member is unhappy.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
We all have a responsibility to try and make this world better, whether it's through our work, the causes we champion, the way that we treat people, or the values we impart to the next generation.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
Wall Street sharks will go where they smell the blood, and you cannot change that.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
As hundreds of millions of Chinese have improved their standard of living, this has put enormous pressure on natural resources, raw materials, and food basics, among others.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
When I was a kid, we'd go to the movies, and my parents would reach out to everyone around us in the theater, most of whom could barely afford the movie ticket. They'd hand out popcorn and Milk Duds, strike up conversations with them, lend shoulders to cry on, learn their names, and smile at everyone.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
It's very important for people to know what gives them meaning. But it's hard for people to figure out if you're not connecting with yourself and taking the time to just be introspective and daydream.
Quote by -Daniel Lubetzky
I make mistakes daily, letting generalizations creep into my thoughts and negatively affect my behavior. These mistakes have taught me that the first step to successfully choosing kindness is being more mindful about it, letting go of impatience and intolerance along the way.
