Toyoto Becomes Number One Car Company; Thanks General Motors
e6aThank you so much for making Toyota number one, the chairman of Toyota, Fujio Cho, said to Richard Wagoner, the CEO of General Motors, and leaned across the conference table to shake his hand.
Think nothing of it, Mr. Wagoner replied, obliging the Japanese exec. The credit belongs entirely to you and your quality-obsessed company.
No, no, the Japanese CEO insisted. We could never have done it without your reliable incompetence.
On the contrary, sir, the GM CEO replied, eyeing the other American and Japanese executives arrayed around the conference table, the credit is entirely due to your astonishing competence. After all, you and your company have figured out how to make cars people actually want to buy form and function, attractively combined.
Yes, I think thats true, the CEO of Toyota conceded.
And youve figured out how to make cars that are legendarily reliable, Wagoner went on.
Yes, I must also agree with that.
Then how is it possible that you are thanking me for helping to make you number one? Mr. Wagoner wanted to know. I do not deserve any of the credit whatsoever!
But, dont you see, Mr. Wagoner? We owe our success to the fact that you have not quite figured out how to make cars that people actually want to buy!
Were working on it, the CEO of GM replied.
And have you figured out how to make legendarily reliable cars?
Were also working on that.
May I ask if you have been successful at either endeavor?
I said were working on getting there.
But, Mr. Wagoner, how is it possible that after all these years of making cars you are still working on two such important objectives? Of course, I am not referring to you and your highly competent current executives, but only to your predecessors, and I am sure you will do much better.
Thank you. Ill tell you why we're having a difficulty or two. Your company came along, Mr. Cho, and set the bar higher than it was.
We did?
I insist. Much higher.
And how were we able to set it higher?
You tell me.
Because you set it so wonderfully low.
We did?
What other explanation can there be, Mr. Wagoner? And now you are struggling to catch up, which, if I may be frank, is another way of saying you have failed to do so."
"But "
" I beg your forgiveness, my distinguished friend, but if that isnt incompetence, I dont know what is. Of course, as I said, not your incompetence, only that of your predecessors. Yet, if I may be so bold, please, accept my gratitude.

Three Things Guys Love In Super Cars. Scientific Look On Men Psyche.
18bfWhat Is a stereotype of a real man? Tough, bad-ass, interested in cars and opposite sex, only thing he spends his free time on is tuning his ride.
Is this truly how real man is meant to be? I dont think so, it is just like with blondes, not every girl with yellow hair is so dumb that completing any everyday action is a tough one for her.
Anyway most of guys are interested in cars, it doesnt mean that every man out there is a petrol-head. We just find ourselves attracted to mechanics and/or looks of some automobiles.
That is actually what makes us different from beautiful sex. We are taking everything logically and women are making their decision mostly based on emotions. It doesnt mean that every man is completely washed off all emotions Robocop, we simply dont allow them to take control over us in most situations.
We just know what attracts us and what dont. Yeah, it is biggest difference between us and woman, if you dont believe me just look at their shopping habits, most of the time in shop they spent trying-on things they are not going to buy later. Is it logical? No!
Ok. So we are attracted to cars but what cars we like the most? Answer is simple, ones that we cant own, the fastest, the most beautiful, the most luxurious, simply the best of all, cars that are being called super cars.
But what exactly we find so appealing in those completely impractical cars? Ive decided to pick up the gauntlet and look at his problem from psychologists view[I am not one but who cares].
1. Looks.
I think that this is the most important factor of all. I based that assumption on fact that most man are visuals[they are more attracted to looks than other qualities]. If you think that you arent, just think about last time you have seen some gorgeous girl, have you felt that worm wave of energy going through your chest? Maybe youve found yourself imaging all the things that you could do with her? If yes you are a hypocrite. Why? Cause you are feeling attraction that is based only on how she looks.
Thats why most man think that some car is great only cause of its trendy eye-catching design.
2. Dreams.
This is another important factor in my opinion, dreams are deeply in our psyche. Everyone love to dream, Why? Cause in dreams we can be anyone, we can do anything and own anything, for example a super car. I am sure that you have dreamed at least once in your life how would it be if you would have a million bucks. Yeah, million is really a big amount of money, you for sure could find this dreams so real that you have even made some kind of commitment that you will have such house, wife and car that you always wanted.
Dreams are extremely powerful, actually it is scientifically proven that our subconscious part of mind, responsible for things like breathing, processing of movements and other things we dont have direct control of, doesnt recognize the difference between reality and dreams. Thats why we can want something so badly, cause our subconscious after experiencing all the benefits of some situation[after dreaming] sends info to our conscious mind that we want it.
3. Social Status.
Another biggie when comes to people overall not only men. Social status is fundamental of human communication since beginning of our species. Social status is like rank of power, more power you have better you are ranked. Funny thing is that from some reason men tend to think that having something to show off like car, big mansion or private jet will skyrocket their ranking but it is of course wrong.
I think that it all comes from idea of picking girls on all those material stuff. The concept isnt wrong itself cause you will for sure find some chicks attracted to money but such friendship regularly wont lead to long term relationship.
My advice for you is to go out there and search for stuff about social status cause it is really fascinating thing. Actually you can notice social status in behavior of almost all animals and by having this knowledge you can actually become a leader of the group and by that the coolest guy in your environment.
OK, lets try to sum up everything that I have written in here. First, guys are thinking logically and woman act emotionally and this is why we better like mechanics than them. There are 3 main causes that make men love super cars. First is look, as every guy likes to hang his eye on some curved body, of course car body you perverts! Second we want that cars cause we are big dreamers and like to spend most of time in our work thinking about how would it be if we would have something that we dont have. Third we want to increase our Social status which is oldest law of nature and indicator of masculinity.
I hope that after reading this stuff you know why you are drooling on your keyboard seeing new shiny red Ferrari and you will be looking on all of this stuff from different angle. I tried to make this article look scientific but I dont know if I have accomplished this task, so if you have any suggestions for my further writings email me.
