“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.

“In all the thrashing about that results from our dwindling gold reserves, it's about time that this country and other countries get some perspective on the situation. The day this country is out of the stuff, that day gold becomes what it's worth as a metal and no longer will have much significance as a monetary measurement. It isn't the gold we have that makes this nation rich. It's what we make, our knowhow, our productivity. So long as this country produces more and better, the world will continue to want what we make.” WorldWantLongCountryNationsStuffWealthResultsSituationRichProducePerspectiveGoldProductivitySignificanceMetalsOther CountriesReservesMeasurementMonetary Author:Malcolm Forbes
“Give yourself the gift of uninterrupted time. It can be the first hour of your day. Or the last hour. A lunch hour. You want time free from phone calls, visitors, mail, things to read. Unplug the phone if you have to. Lock your door. Put a sign on it that warns people of the consequences of entering. Do what you have to and watch the results. One hour of uninterrupted time can double a person's productivity for the day.” PeopleIfsWantGivingFirstsPersonsLastsHoursResultsWatchesDoorsConsequencePhonesProductivityLunchMailLocksEnteringVisitorsPhone CallsOne HourInterruptions Author:Geri Larkin
