ISSUE 582
MAY 2001
ur whole life is a series of choices. If we make mostly right choices, we
live mostly healthy, happy lives.
If we make mostly wrong choices, we live mostly short, unhappy lives.
If we choose to stay in good shape and give Uncle an honest day’s
work—every day—then we earn our monthly paycheck, get promoted and
eventually re-up.
But if we choose to avoid responsibility, to put off until tomorrow what
we can do today, to put minimum effort into everything we do… well, we
get passed over for promotion, get out after our first hitch and draw unem-
ployment while we look for another job.
The same choices often apply to preventive maintenance, no matter what
equipment you operate or maintain, or what kind of unit you belong to.
Do
you
pull PMCS when it’s scheduled or postpone it ‘til tomorrow?
Do
you
go by the book or rely on your memory for how-to?
Do
you
use the right tools or use whatever tools you can scrounge up at
the last minute?
These choices are yours to make more often now than ever before.
What are
your
choices?
