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.

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

La filosofía de los pequeños pasos hacia la mejora fue introducida en Japón después de la guerra, cuando las fuerzas de ocupación del general Douglas MacArthur comenzaron a reconstruir aquel país devastado.

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.

El kaizen funciona porque desarma la respuesta cerebral al miedo (tu cerebro está programado para resistir al cambio), estimulando el pensamiento racional y el juego creativo.

I am not a big technology person. I don't go on the Internet really much at all. Drawing is like a zen thing; it's private, which in this day and age is harder to come by.

Why should anyone be interested in my life? It's the prurience I find so extraordinary. Why, why, oh why should my private life be of any interest to the public? The only people who should be interested are my friends.

Be happy in your own skin.

The key to community is the acceptance, in fact the celebration of our individual and cultural differences. It is also the key to world peace.

Prejudice of any kind implies that you are identified with the thinking mind. It means you don't see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence.

The attendance of that brother was now become like the attendance of a demon on some devoted being that had sold himself to destruction.

Death is nothing but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

If you show you're human and have something to say, people will connect with you.

Time management is really key for me.

I'm in the gym three to four days a week, depending on how I'm feeling. With chest, legs and back being the most important parts of any athlete's body, I try to train these on separate days with at least a day off in between.

My image lends itself a little bit more to the modern fan, sometimes more toward the kids, and I guess more toward the wine drinkers... I mean, I have my own wine, and fans love to pull for people they relate to.

It is tragic that the Fuehrer should have the whole nation behind him with the single exception of the Army generals. In my opinion it is only by action that they can now atone for their faults of lack of character and discipline.

When you are the invisible man to the head coach the only option is to head for the exit

I need quiet and solitude to work. Darkness is best. If I am wide awake, I can't write.

I feel we live in the kind of culture now where you have to be very smart to navigate the right way, and I just don't have those smarts. I think with age and time it will change, but I can't obsess about it.

Armed drones have become Barack Obama's way to engage in terrorist-infested hellholes without putting 'boots on the ground.' For years, the CIA has been running a secrecy-shrouded program of targeted killings in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, and more recently in Somalia, Syria and Iraq.
