Walk Away

It originated as just a normal October Wednesday in Pillager, MN. Eli was awoken from his deep slumber by his Dad at 9:00 am, just like every other day of the week.

As I do every morning, I walk by the queue. Well-dressed gentlemen, hover over the shoe polishers, greed gleaming in their eyes as hunger in vultures. Their greasy skin, drips over collars, like oil from the bacon they had for breakfast, quivering at the boys beneath them. Their eyes are clouded, unaware, boredom and impatience evident. The young men at their feet swelter under the hot sun, beating onto them, wrinkling their dark skin. Sweat soaks through their thin garments, revealing their…

There is a time and place for everything though, right? No worries. After all, Walter's survival mode kicks in and even the audience is momentarily tricked into believing he…

The trip there seemed like it would never end, the first few hours we were all excited to get there but soon after that all we wanted to do is sleep. We stopped in a couple towns on the way there to either fuel up or just get something to eat. The food on the way there was pretty much chips, soda, and some food from…

I'd like to think that everyone is like me... but they are not. Everyone is apathetic or sympathetic towards others unless they are close to someone. Then do they show empathy in some circumstances. And when it comes to others, people see them as a threat or different, possibly both because people tend to get rash when they feel threatened by something different.

A Gemba walk can prevent a false sense of things by showing up in a work center unannounced so that the leaders aren’t…
