Ego Backlash Is Not a Game

The process of improving an organization or a collective ego is the same as improving an individual one. It's a sort of back and forth, a painful process. Sometimes it's two steps forward, one step backward. And then again, you have to start all over again. So don't get discouraged. Just like with yourself individually, the key is persistence. The key is not not making too much change too quickly. If you introduce too much change into a government, what's going to happen? They're going to throw you out. That's if they're nice. In many places in the world, they'll kill you. This isn't a game. This is life and death.
