Albert Einstein said it best: If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y plus Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keeping your mouth shut.

 

Well, what can I add to that without violating Z? I guess just to emphasize the play aspect of things. Being curious and always willing to learn certainly go a long way toward keeping work fun and even delightful. Fortunately in this business the pace of the technology makes you forever the student, discovering new tricks of the trade.  Keeps you young, right? 

 

Other influential voices around here:

  • E. F. Schumacher > Small is beautiful
  • William Morris > The utilitarian should be beautiful
  • Fred Rogers > It doesn't have to be loud, fast or vast to be engaging
  • My cat > Wake me when something happens

 

Well, time to get back to my a, b, c's.
