To See Clearly


Work quickly, keep the tools unlocked, work whenever. Know when to work alone and when to work together. Share - tools, ideas. Trust your colleagues. No politics. No bureaucracy. (These are ridiculous in a garage.) The customer defines a job well done. Radical ideas are not bad ideas. Invent different ways of working. Make a contribution every day. If it doesn't contribute, it doesn't leave the garage. Believe that together we can do anything. Invent. (Hewlett Packard advert.)
Sometimes it takes a quote or maybe even a punch from someone like Hewlett Packard to see clearly. What are we creating today to solve the problems that our current economy is facing? It is not easy when all you do is sit back and watch everyone else get ahead and you get farther and farther behind because you are not willing to take a step up. Consistent movement is required to see life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
