Quote #581
People who do good work often think that whatever they're working on is no
good. Others see what they've done and are full of wonder, but the creator
is full of worry. This pattern is no coincidence: it is the worry that made
the work good.
-- Paul Graham, "Being Popular"

to do superior work... - The reason why worry kills more people
than work is
that more people worry than work... - The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people
worry than work.
ROBERT... - The reason why worry kills more people than work
is that more people worry than work.
Robert... - Want to be a composer? ... If you can think design,
you can execute design--it's only a bunch of air molecules... - This is a good time to
punt work... - All good work is done the way ants do things, Little by little.
