No Pain, No Gain
A few weeks ago I bought some books about Edison for my son. I was looking through one of them and I came across this quote attributed to Edison "There are no rules around here, we are trying to build something". It struck a chord. Today I saw that the 37 signals blog entry has this very same quote. I have shown or recited this quote to several people in the throes of creating something. And when I do, they always seem to smile. But their eyes echo a remembered pain.
