Quote by Simon Sinek

In the military, they give medals for people who are willing to sacrifice themselves so that others may survive. In business, we give bonuses to people who sacrifice others.

In the military, they give medals for people who are willing

Summary

This quote highlights the contrasting values and reward systems between the military and business. In the military, sacrifice for the greater good is acknowledged and rewarded through medals, acknowledging and honoring individuals for their selflessness. However, in the business world, there is a criticism that bonuses are often given to those who prioritize their own success and advancement at the expense of others. It suggests that while sacrifice is revered in one context, it is sometimes overlooked or even discouraged in the pursuit of individual profits and achievements in the business realm.

No sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it. There they are gathered together, blinking up to it with such vision as they have, scanning it from afar, hovering round it this way and that, each cunningly endeavoring, by all arts, to catch some reflex of it in the little mirror of himself.
