All companies have a culture, some companies have discipline, but few companies have a culture of discipline. When you have disciplined people, you don’t need hierarchy. When you have disciplined thought, you don’t need bureaucracy. When you have disciplined action, you don’t need excessive controls. When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great performance.
Good to Great

This concept isn’t new—nor is the idea that it’s related to health. Numerous Eastern philosophies have noted that there is a certain energy tied to well-being; it’s been called both prana and chi. Western philosophers may refer to something more theoretical, such as motivation or purpose. Emergency medical workers and hospice care professionals often describe juice as a will to live, because when a person loses it, he or she starts to die. Though being juiced doesn’t ensure perfect health, running out or losing our juice is often a major obstacle to feeling good.

For Zen students the most important thing is not to be dualistic. Our “original mind” includes everything within itself. It is always rich and sufficient within itself. You should not lose your self-sufficient state of mind. This does not mean a closed mind, but actually an empty mind and a ready mind. If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few.
