Allan Lokos on what we control

Allan Lokos is the founder and guiding teacher of the community Meditation Center in New York City, and author of several books on peaceful living. On Christmas day, 2012, Lokos and his wife were in a fiery plane crash in Burma. Many doctors told him he would not survive his injuries. Yet he did. And continued to thrive. That journey is described in his new book Through the Flames.

Boeing’s chief test pilot on risk management

We think of all the what ifs, we think of getting into the maneuvers, getting out of the maneuvers, we talk about each individual person’s role on that flight. We talk about risk … and we talk about ways that we take the risk and minimize it to the lowest level possible so that we go out and execute the test safely.

~ Craig Bomben, in a CNBC interview last week.
