Words to live by

Friday, September 12th, 2008

My Dad always quotes a professor named Dr. Meade who told him “Half of knowledge is knowing where to get the other half”. Words to live by, I always thought. With the widespread certitude that Google brings, we can all feign intelligence every now and again. When you fuse the iPhone with Google, you have quite the combination. Case in point, the other day I heard a reference to a word “Paramour” while watching a murder mystery. Great band name, I thought, but what does it mean? I leisurely borrowed Lauren’s iPhone, and googled the meaning of the word without missing a beat. Apparently it means “lover”, but I don’t think I ever really cared what it meant, I just wanted to prove that I finally knew where to get “the other half”.

My purpose for writing this isn’t to praise google, but more about how in our professional lives we also need to search out “the other half”. Some of the great synergies of our time come from this philosophy. Come tax season, I’ll hire an accountant. When my car needs fixin, I’ll take it to a place I trust. When someone hires me for a service, I expect they’ll trust my judgement. Let’s all take a lesson from Dr. Meade… Rather than branching out into unknown territory, let’s all stick to success in the arena of our choice!
