It's What You Get Done, Not What You Do



"It's not enough to be busy.  So are the ants.  The question is:  What are we busy about?"

Henry David Thoreau
19th century American naturalist/philosopher

The apparent suggestion that what ants do is not all that important, aside, there is truth in this.

How much of what you do for a living is "important"?

Is whatever that is enough to justify keeping you?

  2. How and what one does dictates in most part what you get done.

  3. Some days I do one thing that makes me look stellar to my company. The simplest things are the most effective.
