WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/18807/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt</a><blockquote>   All men in whose character there is not an element of hardened baseness must admit the need in our public life of those qualities which we somewhat vaguely group together when we speak of “reform,” and all men of sound mind must also admit the need of efficiency.    There are, of course, men of such low moral type, or of such ingrained cynicism, that they do not believe in the possibility of making anything better, or do not care to see things better. There are also men who are slightly disordered mentally, or who are cursed with a moral twist which makes them champion reforms less from a desire to do good to others than as a kind of tribute to their own righteousness, for the sake of emphasizing their own superiority. From neither of these classes can we get any real help in the unending struggle for righteousness.    There remains the great body of the people, including the entire body of those through whom the salvation of the people must ultimately be worked out. All these men combine or seek to combine in varying degrees the quality of striving after the ideal, that is, the quality which makes men reformers, and the quality of so striving through practical methods — the quality which makes men efficient. Both qualities are absolutely essential. The absence of either makes the presence of the other worthless or worse.</blockquote>Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909) Essay (1900-06), “Latitude and Longitude Among Reformers,” The Century Magazine, Vol. 60, No. 2 Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/18807/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/1…</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qotd</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=teddyroosevelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teddyroosevelt</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=cynicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cynicism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=effectiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#effectiveness</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=efficiency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#efficiency</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=idealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idealism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=practicality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#practicality</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=pragmatism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pragmatism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#progress</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=reform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reform</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=righteousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#righteousness</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfinterest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfinterest</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfrighteousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfrighteousness</a>

Futurist Jim Carroll*Youthanize now!”* – Futurist Jim CarrollIn Season 4, Episode 17 of the show The Office, the inept manager Michael spends a moment to explain why he wants to recruit young interns for the office - and says he wants to euthanize things (which means ending a person's life by a serum to end suffering from an incurable disease.). Since then, some have suggested that he was coining a new phrase, "Youthanize".Let's run with it!The world's in a bit of a mess. Some folks are hanging around too long. Have you noticed how the political leadership in the US seems to be getting, well... a bit long in the tooth? Some wonder if RBG and Joe had retired when they should have, things might have been different.Let's look at the Senate, where the average age is pushing 65, but many are in their 80s and 90s! We've got the so-called Silent Generation and Baby Boomers dominating the scene, while Millennials—who represent a huge chunk of the population—barely have a seat at the table. And the fact is, this isn't just about numbers on a birth certificate; it's about who's making decisions about the future. So far, it's not going well, because these old folks don't seem to know how to battle back in this new era of fast-moving, social media-driven events. We're not at a Chuck-e-Cheese restaurant anymore.Don't slam me for ageism - that's not my intent. Many of us will live longer, with minds as sharp as yesterday - but with wisdom, we should also know when to get out of the way. I've spent my career watching how organizations evolve and adapt, and I can tell you this: for today's younger generations, constant change is like oxygen. They've grown up with technology transforming around them daily. They don't fear innovation—they expect it! Meanwhile, we're seeing concerning signs in the political leadership, from public "freezing episodes" to declining cognitive health, with a Pentagon study even flagging dementia among aging officials as a national security concern. (Um, ponder that for a moment. Like, ponder it. Are they trying to tell us something?)Here's what fascinates me: industries that welcome young people as idea generators tend to have massive agility and a high "change quotient." But the current political system seems designed to keep them out! Between gerrymandering, polarization, and the incredible advantages of incumbency, we've created a system where someone who is 74 years old and battling terminal cancer—can still be chosen for leadership because, in his words, "I've never had my chance." Meanwhile, a younger person who has the fire-breathing dragon anger needed in these complex times - is shut out of that opportunity because she's 'too young'.Does this sound like an organization positioned for future success?

Phil HaighLast night I was in the garage making the final modifications to the new baseboards, they’re now pretty much ready for installation, just waiting on some coach bolts.I also got this board all ready for installation as well. Feeds come in on the left, points controller in the middle, block detection on the right. PD1 is power district 1, used for the main part of the layout. PD4 is used for all the DCC accessories that do not have loconet, that way they keep on working even if there is a short on the track somewhere.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ModelRailway</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/DCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DCC</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Progress</a>

Futurist Jim Carroll"Turn your fear into fuel" - Futurist Jim CarrollThis photo was taken in October 2019. I'm in the room with a farming community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It's about as conservative as you can get.They're worried. Farming is evolving too fast. Global competition is increasing. The science of agriculture is accelerating. Cost pressures are relentless. Automation is at the door. They can't hire enough people to work on the farms. They had big goals for global market opportunities for American agricultural products; then a tariff war cut into those hopes around 2017, and those goals weren't realized. Oops.They're scared.They're still scared but decided recently that even though the old plan didn't work the first time, it might work the second time.It won't.And so here we are.If you get behind all of this and try to understand what is going on, the fact is they're scared of the future. They make often irrational decisions based on that fear - something I dug into yesterday. When I spoke to this crowd in 2019, they were, like many groups I speak to all over the US, terrified of what tomorrow represents. The result is that rather than trying to go forward, they undertake actions in an attempt to take themselves back to the 'good old days.' Make it great again, simply by stating it should be so, and then throwing a tantrum to try to make it happen.Except, that never works.Let that be a lesson - the key to tomorrow comes confronting your fear and turning it into opportunity.How do you do this? This is what I would share with them today. What do you do if you are scared of tomorrow? Turn that fear into fuel. Think like this:View future trends as opportunities, not threats It is important to adopt an innovative frame of mind and recognize the potential for growth and advancement. Move forward, not back.Shift your focus. Far too many people view the future with fear rather than thinking about opportunity. An innovative mindset doesn't quiver from the fear of what might be coming next. Instead, it's alive from breathing the oxygen of opportunity.Banish complacency and skepticism. Realize that in an era of rapid change, anything is possible. But only if you choose to chase it.Take action. Rapid times require bold change. Don't avoid the future and fail to do the tough things needed to get there.Challenge assumptions and eliminate habit. If your approach to the future is based upon your past success, ask yourself whether that will guarantee you similar results in the future. (Hint: it won't.)Innovate! Innovators don’t make a difference by redoing the status quo — they accomplish great things by being different. And they don’t constrain their difference with traditional thinking: they simply think differently.Re-engage with the future Shift your focus to the future with enthusiasm, motivation, and imagination. Turn it from an enemy into a friend that gives back to you!There are many reasons for our current global state of affairs.Like I've said many times, one reason is this.It's better to align to the future than fear it.You do that by turning the fear into fuel.<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Fear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fear</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Future</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Innovation</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Opportunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Opportunity</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Change</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mindset</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Farming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Farming</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Progress</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Action</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Growth</a>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/03/daily-inspiration-economic-volatility-turn-your-fear-into-fuel/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jimcarroll.com/2025/03/daily-inspiration-economic-volatility-turn-your-fear-into-fuel/</a>
