Pulpo y Sangria

Madrid it was for the last week and a half: Had some delicious foods and drinks, learned a bit of Spanish, enjoyed the relative occasional notsocoldness, took a tourist bus tour (above image being the result), saw impressive art at the Prado (Goya, Rembrandt, Rubens, Tizian, Velasquez, El Greco), and spent the rest of it working in the office or my hotel room…

Six Sigma for Your Life is in full gear. Had a great response to my invitation and the machine is in full gear. Look forward to it starting in the next couple of weeks.

Tomorrow it’s on to Germany and from there to Brussels on Sunday… (map of tour)

• Quotes I enjoyed

  Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man, who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.
  William James
