MOT Inspiration

Accumulate to get knowledge, eliminate to obtain wisdom. (Massoud Amin)

Understanding comes not by seeing one side, but both.

Don’t reinvent the wheel here folks, lets get more traction from the one we have.

Reading and writing are technologies for interacting across time and a space.

People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.

“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

If you’re out of ideas, stop talking… (Lockwood Carlson)
