A quotation from Schopenhauer, Arthur:

«««««
No one shows himself as he is, but wears his mask and plays his part. Indeed, the whole of our social arrangements may be likened to a perpetual comedy; and this is why a man who is worth anything finds society so insipid, while a blockhead is quite at home in it.

"We are fully aware we remain a small, low, single digit [market] share player" is rarely something you'll hear an executive from a large tech company say in public.

Amongst all the noise, hype, and blind rah-rah that's so prevalent, it's really refreshing to see a bit of #humility and #candor, and that makes me want to use their products.

A quotation from Shakespeare, William:

«
His nature is too noble for the world.<br />
He would not flatter Neptune for his trident<br />

What his breast forges, that his tongue must vent,<br />
And, being angry, does forget that ever<br />
He heard the name of death.

This post examines a cluster of #virtues that includes #straightforwardness, #frankness, #sincerity, #earnestness, #candor, and #parrhêsia.

These virtues have to do with communicating in a way that is clear, precise, efficient, and useful. They show respect for those you are communicating with by “giving it to them straight” and not forcing a lot of second-guessing and interpretation.
