Training, Educate, Succeed

A consultant was visiting a top Japanese industrialist on a fact-finding mission. He was curious to find out how the Japanese workforce achieved such huge productivity gains over their counterparts in the West.

"First, we train," said the industrialist.

"Then what?" asked the consultant.

"We train," said the industrialist.
 
"And next?"
 
"We train."
 
Smiling, the consultant asked: "What do you do next? Train?"

"No," said the industrialist. "We educate."
 
"OK," said the consultant. "And then what?"
 
"Then we succeed," said the industrialist.

Moral: First Train, Then Educate, And You Will Succeed.
