1989年，波羅的海三國手牽手活動。
On August 23, 1989, about 2 million people from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania formed a human chain that united all 3 countries to show the world their desire to escape the Soviet Union and the communism that brought only suffering and poverty. This power stretched 600 km.
The Art of Fairness：The Power of Decency in a World Gone Mean
The Art of Fairness: The Power of Decency in a World Turned Mean
'David Bodanis is an enthralling storyteller. Prepare to be taken on a surprising, wide-ranging and ultimately inspiring journey to explore what makes us human' Tim Harford
Can you succeed without being a terrible person? We often think not: recognising that, as the old saying has it, 'nice guys finish last'. But does that mean you have to go to the other extreme, and be a bully or Machiavellian to get anything done?
In THE ART OF FAIRNESS, David Bodanis uses thrilling historical case studies to show there's a better path, leading neatly in between. He reveals how it was fairness, applied with skill, that led the Empire State Building to be constructed in barely a year - and how the same techniques brought a quiet English debutante to become an acclaimed jungle guerrilla fighter. In ten vivid profiles - featuring pilots, presidents, and even the producer of Game of Thrones - we see that the path to greatness doesn't require crushing displays of power or tyrannical ego. Simple fair decency can prevail.
With surprising insights from across history - including the downfall of the very man who popularised the phrase 'nice guys finish last' - THE ART OF FAIRNESS charts a refreshing and sustainable new approach to cultivating integrity and influence.

原則，理想與精密的計算。立陶宛favor台灣的作法，引起中國的不滿，有恐嚇，也有實際行動，照這篇報導的說法，立陶宛已經算過，也做了準備。
《善良的逆襲》也在談這件事。之前在臉書上寫到倫敦奧運，Hsinchinlin寄了這本書給我，真好。我原本也以為這是一本勵志書，宣揚厚黑不會總是贏，好人也會長命，但發現沒那麼單薄，而且寫得很好看。開頭就寫倫敦奧運的開幕式，原來這是《貧民百萬富翁》的導演操刀。這本書寫他如何在經費不足，大量動用志工的狀況下，打造倫敦奧運的開幕儀式－－不是技術面，而是態度面。他從「性善論」的假設出發，但是也不是濫好人，有他檢核的機制，有他堅持的原則。像是英國奧委會本來希望參與的上萬名志工自掏腰包，典禮穿的衣服要志工自己出錢買。導演反對到底，以辭職明志，最後爭取到志工不用出錢。
看來不只台灣的奧委會狀況多，英國奧委會也是荒腔走板，志工已經投入很多心力，連服裝都要自己花錢，英國奧委會也真敢開口。這就好像政府槍斃犯人，還要求犯人自己要出子彈錢。不過這種事情從前發生過，以後也不會少，《善良的逆襲》提供了一種方式，讓人在被狗咬之後，除了回咬狗之外的另一種選擇。

A fine-tuned supply chain is more than the sum of its parts. It should be looked at as an integrated whole, not as a set of individualized and independent processes. Ideally, each link improves the next.

Many Say Consumer Responses Offer Clues to Supply-Chain Snafus, Flaws or Unclear Instructions, Speeding Up Remedies

L.L. Bean Inc. noticed earlier this year that one
of its top-selling products, Supima Cotton Fitted Sheets, was being
slammed in online customer reviews.
The company, which pulled the sheets from its website, found that a wrinkle-resistance treatment mistakenly added by a contractor was causing the cotton fabric to unravel. It offered new sheets to the 6,300 customers who had purchased the set and destroyed the rest of the faulty batch.
"Before, it would have taken us months and months to figure out if something was wrong with the product through returns, if we ever would have known at all," ...
