Oracle – Becoming a Warrior

Cooperation – Division of Labor

Warriors Know the Game – Capitalist societies are based on competition and scarcity. Politics maneuvers us into seeing others as competitors for scarce resources, instead of willing hands helping us build. No wonder Main Street is falling into disrepair, volunteer activities go begging and community resources are depleted! Without a sense of community we can’t see each other as anything but rivals.

Warriors Know How to Lead – Warrior understand strategy and dividing tasks into steps. Warriors see into the heart of personal and personnel problems because they have confronted their own issues of courage, baggage, physical challenge and fear

Warriors Know How to Play Their Position – For my part to work, your part needs to work. Division of labor knits efforts into a harmonious whole. Everyone gets a chance and everyone is satisfied with the result.

Warriors See the Entire Field – We know how to change course to give our best efforts their best chance. We know when to retreat and regroup. We understand the psychological build-up and the necessity of down-time, debriefing, and re-supplying. Everyone must feel that they are of value and no effort is in vain.

Models – “The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation” – Bertrand Russell

“Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress and working together is success” – Henry Ford

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants” – Isaac Newton

“Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller
