Motorcycle maintenance

I thought that was motorcycle maintenance, says Mark. 

The following information may be slightly exaggerated, but everyone I meet tells me that Dr. Seuss s To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street was rej ected 24 times. Silence of the Lambs 28 times, Catch-22 21 times, and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance more than 100 times. Twenty publishers felt that Richard Bach s Jonathan Livingston Seagull was for the birds. It went on to sell millions of copies around the world. 

Second, noble gases is a technically difficult subject. That is, noble gas geochemists need to be adept at technique development and this has to include skills acquired through innovation in the lab. Nobody can learn this stuff merely with a book or practical guide. Reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (by Robert Pirsig) would give you a clearer picture. 

As Robert Pirsig wrote in his landmark iconic autobiographical novel Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, the art of motorcycle maintenance is primarily a mental phenomenon [1]. One may have the tools, but unless there is mental preparation to achieve hi goals, the tools alone will not help. A similar mindset is needed to achieve excellence in a laboratory to make it into a perfect laboratory that produces flawless performance. Tools may be available, but if there is no organizational passion and will to excel, the laboratory will not become a perfect laboratory. 

Similar to Robert Pirsig s hypothesis of Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance [1], a mental exercise is at the heart of managing a perfect laboratory . The mind needs to be prepared to perform a flawless analysis and whatever is required to make it so otherwise a perfect analysis is simply not possible. Determination to excel, mental discipline to stay the course, willingness to overcome inertia and resistance of others, and focus on producing perfect analysis at all levels of laboratory staff are essential. Improvement in laboratory quality performance is a process, not a project. A project ends, but a process continues.

In the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, author Robert Pirsig wrote that the place to improve the world is first in ones own heart, head, and hands, and then work outward from there. So consider this section the first step toward a better world. Motorcycles require maintenance, just like cars, but, in the case of motorcycles, the stakes are a bit higher. Fail to maintain your car and you may end up stuck on the side of the freeway. Fail to maintain your motorcycle and you might findyourselfon the side of the freeway.
