“I'm mentally getting myself ready to talk about it all year long because I know it's going to come. My main focus is not to really concentrate on that... So many things have to line up, to be healthy and consistent for so many games, to get to that point. I know as we get closer we're going to talk about it more. But believe me, when it's done, if it gets done, it will be a huge achievement and I'm definitely going to soak it in. But at this time, it's not at the top of my mind.” IfsKnowsYearsMindBelieveLongDoneGamesSportsLinesFocusReadyHugeHealthyAchievementTrainingPreparationConsistentBelieve In MeOf My Mind Author:Anthony Calvillo
“Corporations, in the name of efficiency, suppress variation by "getting all the ducks in line."To optimize productivity, they evolve highly refined and internally consistent operating systems. Payoff - results - as long as the music lasts. But ... all that streamlining and re-engineering limits diversity, suppresses self-organization ... and curtails a bottom up emergent response to disruptive change.” LongSelfLastsNamesLinesResultsKnowledgeLearningLimitsDiversityOrganizationManagementResponseBottomProductivityEvolveCorporationsConsistentDucksEngineeringEfficiencyVariationRefinedDisruptivePayoffOperating SystemsStreamlining Author:Richard Pascale

“What can I do to make sure that middle-class families are feeling more secure, that more young people are able to access opportunity, that we are safe, that we are working with our international partners to try to create more order at a time when there's a lot of chaos?

“I myself would go for nonviolence if it was consistent, if everybody was going to be nonviolent all the time. I'd say, okay, let's get with it, we'll all be nonviolent. But I don't go along with any kind of nonviolence unless everybody's going to be nonviolent. If they make the Ku Klux Klan nonviolent, I'll be nonviolent. If they make the White Citizens Council nonviolent, I'll be nonviolent. But as long as you've got somebody else not being nonviolent, I don't want anybody coming to me talking any nonviolent talk.” IfsWantKindLongWhiteTalkingViolenceCitizensOkayConsistentNonviolenceCouncilKu Klux Klan Author:Malcolm X
“What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows--it must grow smaller or larger, better or worse--it cannot stand still. In other words, we change--and must change, constantly, and keep on changing as long as we live. What, then, is the true Gospel of consistency? Change. Who is the really consistent man? The man who changes. Since change is the law of his being, he cannot be consistent if he's stuck in a rut.” IfsMenYearsLongStillsLawGrowsGrowthMoralHe ManStructureStuckConsistentAtomsSmallestConsistencyRutsStuck In A Rut Author:Mark Twain
