I love the concept of kaizen and how you've developed it here. Currently I'm in the process of decluttering, which I think is in line with the kaizen philosophy!

I really want to learn from their success. Shilpan, Thanks for such kind words! Brian, Now you know the meaning of the signs ;). To be honest I would not have a clue until I read about it in Wikipedia and then ran some search on flickr. Never mind. Signs are less important than the meaning. It is great that Safeway has Kaizen as their motto. Vered,

It shows in everything you do -- including your compassionate nature to a new blogger like myself, your tendency to help others(selflessness) and, above all, your dedication to your family. Financial or physical well being is a nice state to achieve but success has larger meaning to all of us and we shall always be mindful about that. You are proving this truth everyday my friend.

I've read about their history and their dedication to doing good work. There's a reason why they recently became the top selling car company in the world. Toyota is an excellent example.
