Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

  • -- Thomas Alva Edison 托马斯·阿尔瓦·爱迪生

忙碌并不总是意味着真正的工作。所有工作的目标都是生产或成就,而要达到其中任何一个目标,都必须有先见之明、系统、计划、智慧、诚实的目标,以及勤奋。表面上做,实际上没有做。
