Somebody asked Thomas Watson, Sr., the senior member of the Watson family that effectively founded IBM. They said, “Mr. Watson, how long does it take to become excellent?” And Mr. Watson purportedly said, “A minute.” This was years before The One Minute Manager. Somebody said, “A minute?” And he said, “Yes. It is a personal commitment to yourself that you will never again do anything that is not excellent.” And that’s what it’s about, one minute at a time. The motto of Alcoholics Anonymous, which they say has saved lives by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, is “How long does it take to stop drinking?” “A second. And then it’s life, one minute at a time.”
