A king held an archery contest to determine the best archer in all the land. When three archers remained, the best of all in the kingdom, the king offered one final test. A wooden fish was hung on a pole, far out in the field. Whoever struck the fish closest to the head would be the winner.
 
The three archers lined up, aimed up into the sky, and loosed their arrows.
 
The king called each archer close to ask about their shot. The third place archer came forward.
 
“What were you aiming at?” asked the King.
 
“I was aiming at the fish, your Majesty” said the archer.
 
The second archer approached. “What were you aiming at?” asked the King.
 
“If it please your Majesty, I was aiming for the fish’s head.”
 
The winner approached. “What were you aiming at?” asked the King.
 
“Your Majesty, I was aiming at the fish’s eye.”

“To do no harm is impossible. There is always some harm.”

Perhaps.

But I can tell you this: not one of the people who has ever said that to me over the years had tried the techniques in this book.

I will tell you one more thing: everybody who has tried these techniques has seen significant, positive, lasting change in their work and in their lives.

What are you aiming at?
