Revised April 14, 2001 "What is the last rule?" 6. The last rule is that to use your personal power to achieve what will appear to be impossible, all you will have to do is ask yourself the right kinds of questions such as: "What can I do today that seems impossible, but if it could be done, would fundamentally improve the quality in my life and in the lives of others ?" Epilogue People ("strangers") continue to accomplish things that others have considered impossible. Medical breakthroughs like x-rays and vaccines against life threatening diseases (safe drinking water in some countries), and innovations like electricity, airplanes, radio, telephones, televisions, satellite communications, and the internet, would have all been considered "impossible" at one point in time. In his January 20, 1961 Inaugural Address, President Kennedy challenged the people of the world to work together in the struggle against the common enemies of mankind: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself. He went on to say that: All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin. The quality technology provides a common language that people can use to resolve almost any type of issue or problem. As with any new technology that requires a fundamental shift in beliefs and practices, it may take decades to fully achieve, but can begin when quality leaders choose to make a difference. |
