Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the

Summary

This quote by Peter Drucker captures the difference between efficiency and effectiveness. Efficiency refers to accomplishing tasks and activities in a timely and resource-saving manner, focusing on the process. Effectiveness, on the other hand, emphasizes choosing the right tasks and actions that align with the desired goals and outcomes, concentrating on the end result. While efficiency ensures productivity, effectiveness ensures that one's efforts are meaningful and contribute to overall success. It highlights the importance of prioritizing and focusing on activities that have a significant impact rather than merely focusing on completing tasks efficiently.

Peaceableness toward enemies is an idea that will, of course

Peaceableness toward enemies is an idea that will, of course, continue to be denounced as impractical. It has been too little tried by individuals, much less by nations. It will not readily or easily serve those who are greedy for power. It cannot be effectively used for bad ends. It could not be used as the basis of an empire. It does not afford opportunities for profit. It involves danger to practitioners. It requires sacrifice. And yet it seems to me that it is practical, for it offers the only escape from the logic of retribution. It is the only way by which we can cease to look to war for peace. ... Peaceableness is not passive. It is the ability to act to resolve conflict without violence. If it is not a practical and practicable method, it is nothing. As a practicable method, it reduces helplessness in the face of conflict. In the face of conflict, the peaceable person may find several solutions, the violent person only one.
