A Lean Journey 
On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom.

Being

The most
important lesson in making mistakes is to trust that while mistakes are
inevitable and you can learn from them. No matter what happens tomorrow you’ll
be able to get value from it, and apply it to the day after that. Progress

than failures, and the mistakes you make along the way will help you get to
where you want to go.
