Here's an elegant (i.e., simple and strong) statement from another of my favorite bloggers, Bob Sutton of Stanford University.

This is so often missing in our day-to-day lives.

I'm reminded of:

'When people at headquarters grumbled about some task, Mr. Feehan would reflect on the role of the ''can man,'' the raw young firefighter assigned to haul an extinguisher up the stairs. ''If you're the can man,'' Mr. Feehan would say, ''be the can man.'' Mr. Von Essen has done just that, with grace, humor and honesty.'
