About this Presentation
TOC in personal life is discussed by three presenters responding to questions related to their presentations. Bill Taylor (moderator) asked each presenter to give his opinions on a number of different topics concerning how to apply TOC personally. Humberto described using TOC: TOC sharped the personal values and how they apply in personal life: melting emotion, logic, and value in life. Yuji discussed TOC addressing personal frustration in all dimensions of one's life. Alan discussed the concept of everything being an experiment in one's life. TOC allows you to identify the causes of shortcomings and greater than expectations outcomes. Understanding that there is always inherent complexity helps you not to be overwhelmed by the situation. The next question was: how do you use TOC to deal with other individuals? Listen to what the individual is saying. Yuji discussed blaming others for the problem. Check the assumption of what creates the gap from current reality to where the system should be. The discussion moved to organizations, systems, tribes, and nations. How much do we really believe in the five principles (inherent simplicity, never say I know, people are good, etc.)? Yuji constructed a one-case logic paper based on Eli's suggestion and convinced many, many people of TOC. Last question: as an individual how can you change a country? The difficulty now is communication. Using logic is effective. Simplify the message.
