It is so easy, as you mentioned, to let things slide once we have acheived a level (or goal. We must not only be dilegent but to look for the next level on the mountain to obtain, to continue to improve and to change. Thanks for the parady!

The problems get our attention while the things that are going smoothly get ignored.

Staying focused is the key and finding new ways to apply the lessons is the personal reward. This is part of human nature in management as we tend to manage by exception.
