Power

• Power: Between personal achievement and divine grace – on the fine line between pride and gratitude
  Is your success truly your own, or is it a gift you received?
  you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to produce wealth.
• Power: Between love and fear – the eternal dilemma of leadership
  Does a leader need to be loved or feared to survive?
  it is much safer to be feared than loved
• Power: how status and authority turn ordinary people into tyrants
  Are you sure you wouldn’t have become a cruel guard in the Stanford prison experiment?
  The power of the situation overcame the personality of the individual.
• Power: When the invisible gaze turns us into our own guards
  What happens when the fear of the gaze becomes stronger than the gaze itself?
  You had to live – and so indeed you lived, out of a habit that became an instinct –
• Power: The internal war that determines true victory
  Who is the true hero—one who captures cities, or one who conquers himself?
  One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one who rules his spirit than one who captures a city.
