View of the Week: Planning For the (Very) Long Term

We wanted to welcome all to this new week with a "brighter note" courtesy of the team at BuzzFeed!!  It has been quite a weekend.

As we went to Press, Turkey has approved expanded Presidential Powers; Iran was about to enter a period of profound uncertainty and North Korea tried to launch missiles that failed in the aftermath of the Military Parade celebrating their "Day of the Sun" celebrating the birthday of the Nation's Founder.     This is as Israel is faced with another profound challenge as some 700 Palestinian prisoners have officially gone on Strike and thousands have also threatened which will be quite challenging as noted.  

As a new week dawns, we wanted to begin by featuring this Ted Talk from Ari Wallach.   This has been one of the implicit goals we've had here at The Daily Outsider as we have sought to work to "Change the Conversation" about our World as challenges continue to mount.   Please Enjoy:
  

On the Eve of Easter Sunday 2017.....

On The Eve of Easter Week-End 2017,  We are pleased to  feature this compilation of thoughts courtesy of +Jonathan Huie on all #Outsider properties.   It reminds us all  how we should approach on-going challenges and always make sure we forgive--and never hate:

Happy Easter to all......

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
- St. Francis of Assisi

You have heard that it was said,
"Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth."
But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person.
If someone strikes you on the right cheek,
turn to him the other also.
- Jesus (Matthew 5:38-39)

It is not enough to say we must not wage war.
It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray,
does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains
and go in search of the one that went astray?
And if he finds it, truly I tell you,
he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.
- Jesus (Matthew 18:12-13)

Know that all people are your brothers and sisters.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
