The Willingness to Work for Solutionsby Newt Gingrich

有心求解最重要The Willingness to Work for Solutions

80年代末、90年代初，美國國會議長Newt Gingrich 幾乎不可一世。他向戴明博士學習：家教約30小時。約1997年，他也有「醜聞」，被美國人民唾棄。真妙，他這兩年又再一次掘起，勢如破竹，連敵對的民主黨都佩服。

我沒太多功夫去研究他。不過，他剛剛在NPR（美國公共收音廣播網）發表他的信仰、人生觀。

我將末段意思列出當大家參考。

The Willingness to Work for Solutions

All Things Considered, June 27, 2005 · I believe that the world is inherently a very dangerous place, and that things that are now very good can go bad very quickly.

I stood recently at Checkpoint Charlie and I saw where the Berlin Wall had once been, where millions had lived in slavery only 20 years ago and I realized that it could happen again. I've stood at Auschwitz, where millions were massacred. Then I read about in Darfur, where hundreds of thousands are dying in the Sudan.

I watch the bombings in Baghdad and I know they could be happening in Atlanta or in Washington. I look at civilizations that have collapsed: Rome, Greece, China, the Aztecs, the Mayas. And then I look around at our pretensions and our beliefs -- that we are somehow permanent -- and I am reminded that it is the quality of leaders, the courage of a people, the ability to solve problems that enables us to continue for one more year, and then one more year, until our children and our grandchildren have had this freedom, this safety, this health and this prosperity.

I learned this belief from my stepfather, a career soldier who served America in the second World War, in Korea and in Vietnam. When I was a child, we lived in France -- a France that was still suffering from World War II bomb damage; a France that still had amputees from the first World War and special seats on the subway for those who had been wounded in the first and second World Wars; a France that was fighting a war in Algiers; a France that had 100 percent inflation.

We went to the battlefield of Verdun, the greatest battle of the first World War. We stayed with a friend of my father's who had been drafted, sent to the Philippines, served in the Bataan Death March and spoke of three and a half years in a Japanese prison camp.

And suddenly, as a young man, I realized this is all real: The gap between our civilization, our prosperity, our freedoms and all of those things is the quality of our leaders, the courage of our people, the willingness to face facts and the willingness to work for solutions -- solutions to energy, solutions to the environment, solutions to the economy, solutions to education and solutions to national security. We have real challenges, we have a wonderful country. We need to keep it, and to keep it we're going to have to learn these kinds of lessons.

那時我還年輕，卻能頓時體會到：所有這些，都是真的: 在我們的文明、我們的繁榮、我們的自由，它們與上述所有這些衰敗之間之所以會有差距，乃繫於我們的領導者的品質，我們人民的勇氣，願意面對種種該正視的事實，以及願意努力尋求解答—不管在尋求能源方面的解決辦法、環境的解法、經濟困局的解法、教育體系的解法，以及國家安全上的解法。我們的許多挑戰，無疑都是真實的，然而吾國也很了不起。我們需要讓它萬世繁榮，而要做得到這，我們必須學會這些不同的教訓。

2005/3/31關於品質界的兩則記事



午1500 戴久永教授來取一本書（戴明修煉I）。談品質教科書中沒有任何基本的techniques東西，多談些bsc、6x、等等。我說這可以寫篇論文，探討企管教育中的品質、流程、服務業等方面之空砲彈。這可以對比Deming-based MBA之想法。他提到教科書的翻譯每頁250元。我希望他 調查Dr. Juran的真正法學 title是什麼，因為這是困擾台灣學界的資格問題（有所謂法學博士並非我們所想的）。
我說他四年之後再退休，也可以來玩一下論文集。他說他是一匹野狼，沒group。
他近幾年少寫文章，我說可惜。要保持點力道到最後一口氣。

朋友/前輩：

下述林先生引的這篇文章，並不完全（應該參考『同道：從fellowship談起；與王晃三教授同道同光』一文）。-- 我想，「個人新聞台simon university」或參觀一下。譬如說，在QRDC過去7次會議期間，我在它存約數百篇「作品集」。

現在我簡單地談你們下周要談的兩大主題：「本委員會任務應如何聚焦？」和「我們期望產出何種成果？」

首先，我們如果過去一開始開始，就懂得做會議等所根本的目的書（purpose statement），就方便得多。

它的方式大約：
「本委員會應如何運作？要做那些？」和「我們期望產出的成果」
【To Do… I the ways of…So That…】


If we did it formally…可惜…..
現在要談「本委員會任務應如何聚焦？」和「我們期望產出何種成果？」
可不就容易多……
----
不過，……..我們可以補充，請林先生和王主委整理一下，大家再重新出發。
這是從supply端看，我們似乎也應該要求學會csq，問他們的要求 夢想—這是Demand端。
*****
我過去最覺得最失望的是，csq 言行的落差很大。

現代組織面臨的最大衝擊是：資訊/知識的民主化、分散和加速累積。所以csq 似乎應往「知識和經驗的交流和累積平台」之方向走。

所以，我們花些時間討論所謂的「品質知識社群」*……

也許這些還不夠深入，要深入談。我相信這只是「一端」，一己之見。
