Percibí los latidos de la sangre que se esparcía por el cuerpo como arena. El corazón de un muerto no late, pensé en el vértigo ondeante de la pesadilla. Esa arena de sangre seca corriendo por mis venas formaba parte de esa pesadilla que ya no iba a cesar. No era cadáver aún, pero llevaba la muerte en el pecho. Un enorme y ácido tumor me llenaba todo el cuerpo. Ocupaba mi lugar.”

If we are efficient or effective at things that thwart our ability to provide value to the customer – even if unconsciously – well, we would be contributing to our own demise under the guise of doing good. So any changes we make, in operations specifically, or any other business function, or on the whole, must be centered around the value exchange.”
