Pe­on to fel­low cube-mates: What would hap­pen if no one ever reached their tar­get, but they just kept plac­ing it fur­ther and fur­ther away for the sake of “striv­ing for ex­cel­lence”? (pause) Sounds like you’re set­ting up your peo­ple for fail­ure. You ever watch Nin­ja War­rior? That show is the bomb. They have crazy, se­mi-im­pos­si­ble ob­sta­cle cours­es, and if a con­tes­tant pass­es all four stages, they win. The point is, no one is sup­posed to win! The ob­sta­cles get hard­er and hard­er to keep peo­ple from suc­ceed­ing, not to hope and pray that they win… You are all hon­orary nin­ja war­riors.
