10 Lessons from Konosuke Matsushita
A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to
try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim.

It is important that an aim never be defined in terms of activity or
methods. It must always relate directly to how life is better for

system. The aim must include plans for the future. The aim is a value
judgment.
