I saw one of his programs on PBS the other night and really liked it. He has a wonderful sense of humor and common sense as well, and we all know that's not common. :re:

This was taken from www.success.org newsletter. An excellent thing to keep in mind for those in business.

Every day look at your work and ask yourself how you can be more efficient and more effective and provide the highest quality service. Constantly seek ways to do things better in all areas of your life. The Japanese have a word for the concept of never ending improvement, kaizen. Progress and ultimate success come to those who train and keep training.

Measure yourself against the best. Most others will choose to be average. This is what average means. You won't know your limits if you don't keep trying. Reject the idea of good enough. Commit to excellence. Take each of your goals and think of how you can improve one percent each month. Success is a journey. It is not a quick fix. The joy is in the doing. Think of success not as a peak to be climbed but a high plateau to be walked.

Always encourage children or employees to do their best and to keep going. Set the bar high for yourself and them. You will all be the better for it.
