“What a different result one gets by changing the metaphor!”

“All organizations are perfectly designed to get the results they are now getting. If we want different results, we must change the way we do things.”

“Right now, your company gets the results—good or bad—that it was designed to get. If your vision of the future differs from your current situation, if you want to get better results, then you must change the way you do things. If you don’t, how can you expect results that are any different from what you’ve already achieved?”

“Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.”

“If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results.”

“Observe always that everything is the result of change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and make new ones like them.”
