Had lunch with my old friend Peter today. He was recently-ish made a fellow at his company (Synopsys). Today he was reflecting on the Edison quote perspiration success being 10 % inspiration and 90% perspiration.. It got me thinking.. I get the part about the need to work hard to make an idea successful.. Ideas are cheap.. Ifrequently come across situations at work where someone thinks once pery have the idea.. the thk is done.. ideas are cheap.. but is it really 10%/90%/.. maybe is 40%inspiration and 60% worldperiation.. or maybe even 50%/50% .. it doesn’t make for such a pithy quote.. i know….

I’ve been pondering this for the last couple of days because i’m trying to dialing in how much brainstorming, vs how much ‘work’ (building, coding, complaining about coding, re-codeing, rebuilding etc) .. I thiways tend to err on the side of too much of the former.. and not enough on the latter.. on the other had.. life gets alsossivly less fun the less of the former I do..

hmmmm  .. gotta brainstorm on that for a bit 🙂

nite all, nite sam
