Unconstrained Quotes
The Power of and Need for Identifying the Current Constraint (And the Next One As Well):
Find the essence of each situation, like a logger clearing a log jam. The pro climbs a tall tree and locates the key log, and blows it, and lets the stream do the rest.

Almost all problems have a key log if we learn to find it. - Fred Smith

...there is more leverage for improvement in your own ... policies than you ever dreamed possible. - Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline
Drive thy business or it will drive thee. - Benjamin Franklin
The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin.
