A determined book salesman once told a farmer that ‘a set of books on scientific agriculture’ would teach him to farm better. To which the farmer replied: ‘Hell, son, I don’t farm half as good as I know how.’
I think about this story whenever I’m about to fall into the trap of thinking I need more knowledge, when usually I just need better execution. As I consider the year so far I go back to this thought.
