    I do wonder how much the concept of kaizen alone plays a role - I.e. how much does pursuing kaizen in your life writ large matter in creating this sort of radical change? I would think it matters a great deal, but so clearly does luck to some degree. Perhaps luck only plays in a role in the outcome (tacos instead of pasta, for example) and kaizen plays the part of a starter agent?

    When I manage to finally visit Tokyo I’ll have to get some tacos.
