thanks for the picture, Andrew.

the difference between the picture above and continuous improvement?

The answer to "Are you Happy" is always "No".

I would substitute satisfied for happy. I can be happy with a good effort, but not satisfied that we've done the best we are capable of.

I can't be happy without being satisfied first, but I can be satisfied without being happy..

Thanks for telling me to stay the heck away from Continuous Improvement. I like to be happy (an emotion). I am rarely satisfied (a cognitive acknowledgement), however. So I tend to agree with Alan.
