Some random quotes from this week:

“It’s fun coming to work and finding a passport form on your desk.” – Jeremy Voorhis, Lead Architect of PLANET ARGON.

“Bright ideas are nearly worthless. Execution is everything.” – Jason Watkins, Lead Product Developer of PLANET ARGON.

Indeed, I think the second quote would be more effective if the words “on their own” were appended after “nearly worthless.”

The second one is just another form of “success is five percent inspiration, ninety-five percent perspiration.”

Hrm. I can’t say the second quote strikes me as very accurate. If execution “is everything,” then wouldn’t it be valuable on it’s own? What is execution without an idea?

I think there are far fewer people in this world capable of innovative ideas than effective executions.
