Day #1 of my week long series on either ideas or work, not sure which yet. You will just have to come back tomorrow to see!
No matter how bizarre the mechanics, how advanced the electronics, how many people behind you are helping to turn the gears or switch the switches – if you don’t do your work your idea will not work either.

Preached to myself this 13th day of December, 2010.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas Edison

In honor of all the gazillions going back to work today after the Christmas break I am going to do a few on that topic this week.

Whether it be evolution over millennia or your work over the next 24 hours, perseverance and attitude are the keys.

You may say, ‘evolution doesn’t have an attitude’. And I say, exactly, it doesn’t. You shouldn’t either.
