UPS RIGHT TURNS LITTLE CHANGES BIG IMPACT

“UPS RIGHT TURNS” 

In 2004, UPS implemented a new policy to try to save money. Their engineers developed a software program that would plan their delivery drivers’ routes to use as many right turns as possible.



REASONS FOR CHANGE:

• 61% of accidents at intersections occur when a left turn is involved versus only 3% when turning right.

• Drivers will have less waiting time to turn left and will result in less fuel usage.

• Improved efficiency for which their packages are delivered.


RESULT:


UPS was able to plan their drivers’ routes with roughly 90% right turns. By repeating this small change with each delivery, big change was achieved! In the first year, UPS saved 28.5 million miles driven, 3 million gallons of fuel, and 1,100 trucks. Just the reduction of fuel alone saved the company $9 million in one year!

Sow a Character reap a Destiny!

Burlsworth's High School Coach quote.  

Have I told you all lately that I love you?  Well I have to get back to you on that.  Football is rough game its unpredictable.  Life itself squeezed into 60 minutes and a hundred yards, and you can't control who your mommy and daddy are but you can control how hard you work. Sow a thought reap and action, sow an action you reap a habit, sow a habit reap a character, sow a character you reap a destiny.  Every play starts with a cadence and ends with a whistle what you do in between determines your legacy.  What you do in between matters so give it everything you got.

 I am always interested when people say there is a "Revival"!  Nothing that we see and call a revival today happened in the scriptures.   They put on ashes and repented and God spared them but that wasn't a revival.  It was survival.  Jesus spoke and people believed in Him wanted to be near Him, and to have even just his shadow fall on them.  I think when men call something a "revival" they are referring to what happens in the worship service.  Revival I believe should look like Pentecost all over again.  There should be a spontaneous move of God and thousand of unbelievers not believers giving their hearts to God.  Then there should be a great baptism service with stories being told.  That is what revival looks like.  We have seen it in the scriptures.  I am not saying Asbury didn't have a revival.  I am saying that had long prayer and worship service.  What happened there can happen in our own hearts anytime we want to fall down and seek God's face.  What happened at Pentecost hasn't happened since.  Revival is an awaking to the things of God a new.  Well I can have that right where I am.  I should want that and be after that right here.  It should be happening in me.  It should be happening in you.  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  You know revive your soul in God's presence.  I have the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit doesn't need to come again on me.  I have Him.  I should use the gifts He gave me to love and serve my brothers.  That will bring revival to them.  Revival doesn't look like a prayer meeting that lasts days.  It doesn't require a large crowd or a seminary.  I wonder what God says about revival? Reviving was something God did as you sought Him.  The one comes with the other.  If you want to see Revival want it for yourself and seek Him for it.  Let Him our Lord define what happens there after.
