Here's something...in the US, if there are plans to build a 15-story hotel, there are truckloads of information about it involved, from blueprints to building permits to insurance coverage, maybe a feasability study, and after many months, someone may actually break ground to start building. With luck, in maybe a couple of years you might see a completed hotel. These people put up a 15-story hotel in 6 days. A "a soundproofed, thermal-insulated structure reportedly built to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake", building. SIX DAYS, start to finish. If anyone wonders why China will very soon overtake the US and all other nations as far as actually DOING things instead of having information about doing things...this is why. Source.
Information is cool...vital...absolutely necessary. But until/unless someone uses the information at some point to DO something, all the information in the universe isn't worth a fart in the wind.
By the way, does anyone other than Shelli read these things any more? Just checking. Does anyone know of an equivalent of kudos over here....anything at all to say I was here?

Knowledge has a way of becoming action, but the action is just the tip of the iceberg. The knowledge is the part you usually don't notice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hugh, Great to see you here. Starting to feel a little more like home with several friends coming in now. Just wish you could reply to individual comments.
ReplyDeleteYou have a hundred kudos from me Temy:-) You may need to choose a different version of blogger but on mine the following options are available at the end of each post.

This about as close to kudos we are probably going to get on blogspot.
If you can't figure out how to update your version let me know and I will find out.
Also, you could probably do away with the adult content warning. I know I don't use one even if I do curse on occasion:-)
