Thoughts just left lying around...

The perfect lesson...

"What you want to learn is how to learn." - Alice Snell, Vice President, Taleo

Uncertain outcomes...

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity” - Gilda Radner

A no-numbers game...

"Off-shoring is a zero-sum game." - Marcus Courtney, President, WashTech/CWA

Physical Graffiti...

“We are the first generation bombarded with so many stories from so many authorities, none of which are our own. The parable of the post-modern mind is the person surrounded by a media center: three television screens in front of them giving three sets of stories; fax machines bringing in other stories; newspapers providing still more stories. In a sense, we are saturated with stories; we’re saturated with points of view. But the effect of being bombarded with all of these points of view is that we don’t have a point of view and we don’t have a story. We lose the continuity of our experiences; we become people who are written on from the outside...” - Sam Keen
