If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the peopleto gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.

Dialogue
The roots of Dialogue are the Greek "dia" and "logos" which means
"through meaning."
It is often useful to contrast Dialogue with discussion.In Dialogue we are interested in creating a fuller picture of reality rather than breaking it down intofragments or parts, as happens in discussion.In
Dialogue
we do not try to convince others of our points of view. There is
no emphasis on winning,but rather on learning, collaboration and thesynthesis of points of view.
