El kaizen es lento, la innovación es más rápida. No siempre lo rápido es lo más eficaz.

Kaizen: uso de pasos muy pequeños para mejorar un hábito, un proceso o un producto.

Mito 1: el cambio es duro. En realidad, grandes cambios pueden tener lugar con pequeños pasos con poco esfuerzo. Ej: efectos del sedentarismo: mejor un paseo corto cada hora que pasar una hora en el gym cada día.

Mito 2: El tamaño del paso determina el tamaño de los resultados, de modo que hace falta dar grandes pasos para obtener grandes resultados. Los pequeños cambios pueden llevar a grandes resultados. Ej.: estudio de 400k taiwaneses, viven 3 años + haciendo 15 minutos de ejercicio al día.

El problema de la innovación: a menudo hallas el éxito en el corto plazo, solo para descubrir que vuelves a caer en tus antiguas maneras de actuar, cuando tu estallido inicial de entusiasmo se desvanece.

6 estrategias para la aplicación personal del kaizen: 1-Hacer preguntas pequeñas, para disipar temores e inspirar la creatividad. 2-Tener pensamientos pequeños, para desarrollar nuevas habilidades y hábitos. 3-Realizar acciones pequeñas que garanticen el éxito.

Work on yourself first, take responsibility for your own progress.

My dad was a football player - a soccer player - for Manchester United, and I loved playing football, but I also happened to be the guy in class who was pretty good at sight reading. My teacher gave me scripts, and I was very comfortable.

I understand that NASA reported that there's new evidence of water on Mars. I'm here to report that we still don't have any evidence of affordable gasoline in Michigan.

Money never stays with me. It would burn me if it did. I throw it out of my hands as soon as possible, lest it should find its way into my heart.

We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.

I wanted to be a sportswriter because I loved sports and I could not hit the curve ball, the jump shot, or the opposing ball carrier.

Markets don't allow you to hang about.

It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.

Whats changed Im a dad. Thats fundamental. Watching your kids grow you go back a bit. You can watch a bug crawling around for minutes at a time just sit and marvel at its complexity the utter bugness of it. Ive learned to do that again.

Every couple of years - no, that's every couple of weeks - I think I'm going to give up acting.

I feel a distaste for hunting, first because of a kind of Buddhist respect for the unity and sacredness of all life, and also because the pursuit of a hare or chamois strikes me as a kind of 'escape of energy,' that is, the expenditure of our effort in an illusory end, one devoid of profit.

If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.

Essentially, you have to be aware of a crisis happening: 'Can the company go on if I get hit by a bus?' That's, I think, how you build a great company and something that can scale.

I think if Roman Polanski had asked me to do the phone book, I would have said, 'Yes.'

I say that Pakistanis should not consider girls as weaklings.

My parents' parents were regular working-class people. I ended up speaking in a certain way, and one gets sidelined into doing certain parts. I think that is really quite narrow-minded.

And there was a movement afoot to take another year off, and if we had been able to do that, and rethink everything, I think when we came back it would have been very different.

Since I retired, I very much enjoy watching Serena Williams play. While I was playing, she was one of the toughest players I ever faced. Her ground strokes are so solid, her serve is one of the most powerful in women's tennis, and mentally she is just so strong.

Without humility there can be no humanity.
