Source: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Chapter 29)My personal feeling is that this is how any further improvement of the world will be done: by individuals making Quality decisions and that’s all.
God, I don’t want to have any more enthusiasm for big programs full of social planning for big masses of people that leave individual Quality out.
These can be left alone for a while. There’s a place for them but they’ve got to be built on a foundation of Quality within the individuals involved.
We’ve had that individual Quality in the past, exploited it as a natural resource without knowing it, and now it’s just about depleted.
Everyone’s just about out of gumption. And I think it’s about time to return to the rebuilding of this American resource — individual worth.
