Good Morning,
Today, we, in business, particularly in manufacturing, hear the term "Continuous Improvement". It centers on the philosophy that nothing and no one is perfect or the absolute best. There are also ways to make things better.
Just when we think we have reached perfection, someone introduces a new way of doing things or a totally revolutionary product that far outperforms the old one. Think of all of the revolutionary products and ideas in our lifetime and the tremendous impact they have had on our lives.
Today's message is "Don't worry about striving for perfection." Instead, just work at being a little better each day. This may come in many forms such as: Treat your fellow man or spouse a little better each day. Do your job a little better. Get a little smarter. Live your life a little healthier. Be a better public speaker, etc, etc. The list goes on an on.
Self improvement does not stop at the end of our formal education. It goes on for a lifetime.
Each day, think about what you are doing and how you might improve it. We are not talking revolution but, rather, evolution. A 1% improvement each day is 100% in 100 days. Where do you stand? Where would you like to go. Keep plugging away and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish
Have a great week.
Jim
