The 14 BFO's (Blinding Flashes of the Obvious) Putting People (REALLY) First Autumn of 1985. It had been a grueling two days. A Manhattan seminar for 'YPO,' the Young Presidents Organization. They cut me no slack, and demanded my full attention, almost [drop the 'almost'] literally '24/7.' But it had gone well. Now it was coming to an end. And I wanted feedback.One guy I'd had really intense-and I thought terrific-exchanges with was Manny Garcia. He was either the biggest, or one of the top five, Burger King franchisees-he more or less 'owned' South Florida, with, as I recall, well over 100 shops. Manny put up his hand and I nodded in his direction. He began, 'Well, Tom, two long days-and I didn't learn one damn new thing.' Collectively people snapped to attention. As for me, call the ambulance and EMTs. Then he continued, 'I learned nothing new, but it was pretty clearly the best seminar I've ever attended. It amounted to a blinding flash of the obvious.' A BLINDING FLASH OF THE OBVIOUS: THE 'BFOs' ARE BORN.Manny continued, 'This 'excellence' thing is not rocket science, it's things we all know we should be doing. But somehow we get sidetracked. I am now determined I'm going home and putting on the front burner what in fact ought to be on the front burner.' Manny's comments stuck. And stick to this day. No rocket science. 'Obvious' 'stuff' that gets lost somehow, somewhere, amidst the cacophony of daily affairs.

Description Anatomy and Physiology Diploma Anatomy and Physiology deal with a lifeform's structures and functions. They are both approaches to studying a living organism and hence similar and closely associated. However, they are distinct perspectives as anatomy deals with the structure of living things, i.e. the parts and components that make up the biological systems of living things. In contrast, physiology is concerned with the functions of living things' parts and components, starting from the basic cell to a complex biological organ. In simple terms, anatomy is the study of parts of the body of a living organism. At the same time, physiology is the study of how these parts work individually and as a whole. These two topics are studied simultaneously to understand the living organism as a biological system comprehensively. Anatomy is the area of natural science that focuses on the structural organization of life forms. It covers the forms, parts and structure of living organisms. The external appearance and features and internal parts are both included in anatomy. Anatomy is derived from the Greek words ana- and tomia which means 'up' and 'cutting', respectively. Therefore, the literal meaning of the root word of anatomy is 'cutting up' or dissection. Physiology studies principal organ systems and how the various parts of the body work together. It includes understanding cells, organs, and muscles and their chemical processes and associated functions. The word is derived from the Greek word phusiologia meaning 'natural philosophy.
