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.

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.

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.

4-Resolver problemas pequeños, incluso en crisis abrumadoras. 5-Concederte premios pequeños. 6-Reconocer los pequeños pero cruciales momentos que los demás ignoran.

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.

What I really don't like is oversimplification.

The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away.

I would fight every month. Think about the finances I would have. That would be financial freedom.

Comedy is wonderful when you really nail it and you hear people laughing, but it's not always that easy.

Guys get voted into the Hall of Fame who don't belong, who lack the numbers. I'm very upset at the Hall of Fame for that. It's not fair to the people who went in early.

I don't own anything designer.

It's a massive consumer frustration around the world about how long they have to wait after the U.S. to see television shows and movies. In the U.S., there's the frustration of having to wait a year to watch a movie in the format that you choose.

Years ago, I noticed one thing about economics, and that is that economists didn't get anything right.

I can't say this enough - the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you're stronger, you think more quickly.

I have no regrets about being 'Doctor Who'. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

In my later years, I have looked in the mirror each day and found a happy person staring back. Occasionally I wonder why I can be so happy. The answer is that every day of my life I've worked only for myself and for the joy that comes from writing and creating. The image in my mirror is not optimistic, but the result of optimal behavior.

My first real break was meeting my manager, Julie Gibson. She's the one that introduced me to Ford and Innovative and got me started.

I was a complete brat but was an angel with my mother. I used to be perfectly behaved, and my mother used to be like... 'Really, are you badly behaved with other people?' I was like, 'No, not at all.' But the minute she used to leave the room, I was a brat.

Willie Nelson is the perfect person, it seems to me, to think about. Because something tells me that he operates on his own frequency.

We want to believe racism is an artifact of the past, and if you have a political massacre, that contradicts that.

After every massacre in a school, Americans grasp at quick cures. 'Let's install metal detectors and give guns to teachers' Let's crack down on troublemakers, weeding out kids who fit the profile of a gunman. Let's buy bulletproof whiteboards for the students to scurry behind, or train kids to throw erasers or cans of soup at an attacker.'

Higher ebook prices don't benefit me, booksellers or readers, and that means something is really wrong.

Cheese is good. And Britain, despite the grumblings of the French and the outrage of the Swiss, not to mention some plucky challenges from Italy, Austria, and Spain, has some of the best cheese in the world. We're world leaders in cheese.

If you don't drink, smoke, or drive a car, you're a tax evader.
