Nasrudin (or Nasreddin)[0] is an apocryphal Sufi priest, who is sort of a "collection bin" for wise and witty sayings. Great stories. Lots of humor, and lots of wisdom.
One of my "go-tos" from him, is the Smoke Seller[1]. I think that story applies to the Tech Scene.
I first heard the GC quote as attributed to Will Rogers, then, to Rita Mae Brown.
I wanted to work that way, when I was younger, but the results were seldom good.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
-Attributed to Nasrudin
