Video: BLU Lesson 3: How measures distort behaviour by David Gurteen
One of six BLU lessons on 'how measures distort behaviour' by David Gurteen.
In April 2005, BLU, the UK's Business Link University which no longer exists hired Fifty Lessons to produce a series of video stories for them to which I (David Gurteen) was invited to contribute. This is one of those stories.

Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.
I have compiled over 800 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.
If you love quotations as much as I do then you may wish to register to have a quote e-mailed to you once a week or more frequently by clicking on the button below and completing the form.
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

The reality of the other person lies not in what He reveals to you but in what He cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand Him, listen not to what He says but rather to what He does not say.
Kahlil Gibran, (1883 - 1931) Lebanese-American Poet Philosopher & Artist
For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but will not fly.
