Good, Fast, Cheap… Pick Any Two We never have time to do it right, but we always have time to do it over….. and over….. and over….. I hear time and time again. Just get it done right now, we’ll fix it later. — The problem is that later never comes, and the product is only “fixed” after a very expensive product recall. By then it is too late and significant market share has been lost as well as the reputation of the brand. Trying to save a few bucks in product development can cost millions in product recalls.

The Pregnant Woman Theory If one woman can make a baby in 9 months, then 9 women can make a baby in 30 days. Now you may laugh, but this is the most common problem in developing a new product. Throwing more resources at the problem and praying it goes away does not solve anything.

You Never Run Out Of Things That Go Wrong There will always be an endless supply of challenges and things that go wrong. Pretending there aren't any problems doesn't make them go away.

Chuck Feeney

That's one of the things I like best about folk music is the beautiful melodies - and the harmonies - that exist in it. And of course, some of the stories, the story songs.

Joe Scarborough

Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.

Saint Aurelius Augustine

To get to New Orleans you don't pass through anywhere else. That geographical location, being aloof, lets it hold onto the ritual of its own pace more than other places that have to keep up with the progress.

Allen Toussaint

Mainly, I have actually been getting involved with an organization called MALDEF. It's a Latino organization. And I would like to get involved with charities that have to do with children or homelessness or education, or all of them together.

One day, when we were coming back from school, we saw this big cloud of smoke coming up, and all these fire-trucks in the yard. The garage was burning down. I was 14, and we'd lost everything.

Valerie June

There is a strange sort of reasoning in Hollywood that musicals are less worthy of Academy consideration than dramas. It's a form of snobbism, the same sort that perpetuates the idea that drama is more deserving of Awards than comedy.

Gene Kelly

I think you have to be honest and not try to be somebody that you really aren't.
