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. An amateur would start at the edge of the jam and move all the logs, eventually moving the key log. Both approaches work, but the essence concept saves time and effort. Almost all problems have a key log if we learn to find it. - Fred Smith


To solve a problem changes the problem. - Some journalist whose name slips my mind


...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. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved. - Confucius
