Kaizen

"Kaizen is the fine art of cutting grand goals down to size, the amazing power of taking one step at a time, putting one foot in front of the other. This notion is sophisticated and elegant in its simplicity, yet it's been neglected. We live in a fast-paced culture and we want to rush to get to the finish, quickly.

There's something in us that resists the slow and steady. But slow and steady progress is how you develop a vigorous mind. It's how you accomplish any goal, for that matter."

-- Ingrid E. Cummings


"When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust
the action steps."

-- Confucius
