"Excellent firms don’t believe in excellence – only in constant improvement and constant change." ― Tom Peters Topic(s): Age Tags: believe, excellent, firms More From Tom Peters "For the blue-collar worker, the driving force behind change was factory automation using programmable machine tools. For the office worker, it’s office automation using computer technology: enterprise-resource-planning systems, groupware, intranets, extranets, expert systems, the Web, and e-commerce." "Mastery is great, but even that is not enough. You have to be able to change course without a bead of sweat, or remorse." "The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity." More In Age "I’ve never been more in love with anyone nearly half my age than I am today. I’d get married in a minute if I weren’t still married to somebody else."― Rod Stewart "We tend to think of age only in time, but I don’t think it has much to do with time at all; there’s a whole load of other things. I’ve met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young."― Roger Daltrey "To teach how to live without certainty and yet without being paralysed by hesitation is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can do for those who study it."― Bertrand Russell
