In the first round of work simplification...you can reasonably expect a 30 to 50 percent reduction...to implement the actual simplification, you must question why each step is performed. typically, you will find that many steps exist in your work flow for no good reason. often they are there by tradition or because formal procedure ordains it, and nothing practical ordains it.

More From Andy Grove

Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.
Beer Epidemics Ideas
Why are there beings at all instead of nothing? that is the question. presumably it is not arbitrary question, "why are there beings at all instead of nothing"- this is obviously the first of all questions. of course it is not the first question in the chronological sense [...] and yet, we are each touched once, maybe even every now and then, by the concealed power of this question, without properly grasping what is happening to us. in great despair, for example, when all weight tends to dwindle away from things and the sense of things grows dark, the question looms.
Dark Despair Example
There is so much closed-mindedness, there is so much closed-off thought, there is so much bigotry and prejudice within knowledge that it, i think, is stunting the actual intelligence growth of our population. not our capabilities but our actual intelligence growth because all of the stigma that's attached to people that don't have formal educations as opposed to those who do. but the people that have formal educations have been programmed and indoctrinated in many cases, not in all the disciplines.

The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. a persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life. for me this began with a discovery of the meaninglessness of possessions beyond my actual and immediate needs. as soon as i had brought myself down to need level, i began to feel a wonderful harmony in my life between inner and outer well-being, between spiritual and material well-being.

I've heard people say putting is 50 percent technique and 50 percent mental. i really believe it is 50 percent technique and 90 percent positive thinking, see, but that adds up to 140 percent, which is why nobody is 100 percent sure how to putt.

I and most australians want our immigration policy radically reviewed and that of multiculturalism abolished. i believe we are in danger of being swamped by asians. between 1984 and 1995, 40 per cent of all migrants coming into this country were of asian origin. they have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate.

Deep inside i feel that this world we live in is really a big, huge, monumental symphonic orchestra. i believe that in its primordial form all of creation is sound and that it's not just random sound, that it's music. you've heard the expression, music of the spheres? well, that's a very literal phrase. in the gospels, we read, "and the lord god made man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul." that 'breath of life' to me is the music of life and it permeates every fiber of creation.
