IT Quote of the Day – Thomas Edison
I find that there is nothing like a good, thought provoking quotation to get my creative gears grinding. I find some of them very inspirational and like to carry a new one around about every week. I thought that i could share mine with you from time to time.
Here is my quote of the day:
“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”
Thomas A. Edison

So how do you think that this relates to Information Technology? How do you think that it could be important to Information Technology Professionals?

That is my Information Technology Thought of the Day (ITTOD) for February 8, 2010 by Scott Coughlin.
