Doubters

Doubters!!! Continue doubting.

Skeptics!!!! Continue being skeptical.

Cynics!!! Continue being cynical.

And you get the picture…

I want to finish the thought I began a couple of Rambles ago.

We need to dream – meaning, don’t accept the status quo or the limitations that are imposed on us by others.

We need to doubt – meaning, don’t believe everything you hear…most especially about what is possible and what is not.

So here is a final and wonderful thought that sums it all up…

Listen:

Ninety percent of everything is crap.

—Theodore Sturgeon

What a great way to stay fresh and open!!!!!!

AND WHAT A GREAT SUMMATION!!!

What’s your view?

  1. Ninety percent is crap – I doubt it. The real percentage has got to be higher.

  6. How do you best sell a skeptic? By coming across as a credible curmudgeon, is one successful method in the technical book niche. Book manufacturer O’Reilly has earned success in the technical training niche by writing with skeptical perspectives on their sleeve — example: Windows Annoyances series. I never learned more.

  7. 100% of what we do and make is ultimately futile, in vain… But that doesn’t mean that we should give up. Giving 100% of ourselves (instead of the usual 10%) to tasks of moderate importance is what makes it all worthwhile.

  8. Never give up!!! what if you gave 80per-cent to the most worthwhile — the”real” 10% if you will and then save 20% to move some of the marginal ideas/projects into the high value category. Keep everyone interested; creates more value and keeps the field fresh
