The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream 
To fight the unbeatable foe 
To bear with unbearable sorrow 
To run where the brave dare not go 

To right the unrightable wrong 
To love pure and chaste from afar 
To try when your arms are too weary 
To reach the unreachable star 

This is my quest 
To follow that star 
No matter how hopeless 
No matter how far 

To fight for the right 
Without question or pause 
To be willing to march into hell 
For a heavenly cause 

And I know if I'll only be true 
To this glorious quest 
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm 
When I'm laid to my rest 

And the world will be better for this 
That one man, scorned and covered with scars 
Still strove with his last ounce of courage 

To reach the unreachable star

Two Philosophies

Mid 90s, I was introduced to Kaizen by Dad. What ever you are doing, can be done better. A print-out was stuck in the office. We actually started practicing it. Its a simple method for continuous improvement. Improvement is step by step, flows smoothly, no drastic changes. Kaizen is applicable to all aspects of life. It helps to; change for the better.

Early 90s, ever since I got Kinetic-Honda scooter I started learning about Honda. Everything about Honda was impressive. Mid 90s I heard about Honda philosophy: Be close to customers: Understand their needs: Exceeds their expectations. I adopted it at work. Though we could not exceed our customers' expectations, our products & services quality improved a great deal. Our clients were happier than before and we cut down on wasteful activities. By late 90s, our team was organized, confident and capable.

These two philosophies made a huge difference in my life. From another point of view, I may have not achieved much in life but the Kaizen and Honda philosophies have helped me achieve what I have until now.
