motivation

After a conversation with one of the suits in the office, I got an email late at night that same day…

To our conversation of this morning…
Kennedy’s challenge was to land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth by the end of the decade…but the first step was to build a rocket powerful enough to escape earth’s atmosphere without blowing up.
I think we’re at the same stage.  Some of our rockets are going to blow up.  Some are just going to fall over.  But if we can start to take major ‘time buckets’ out of our production process, we’ll be getting closer to the stratosphere.

Confident of achieving orbit,

Sometimes knowing that high up in the company problems are understood and the message you were trying to send out hit home is a very rewarding, motivating and inspiring event.

Hope comes in many forms…
