 +====== Two aphorisms on the work ======
 +
 +Today we had a course on the matter of quality. I contributed two paraphrased sayings during this. This is the first one:
 +
 +<blockquote>The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.
 +
 +<cite>Stephen McCranie</cite></blockquote>
 +
 +Copied for the blog from https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1252243-the-master-has-failed-more-times-than-the-beginner-has
 +
 +The second appears to be less specifically cited to one source in particular. It goes like this:
 +Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick two.
 +
 +Searching the web for this turns up [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_management_triangle|the Wikipedia article on the "Project management triangle"]] which lists scope, cost, and time as the corners.
 +The middle of this triangle is labeled as quality.
 +[[https://medium.com/@devsociety_/good-cheap-fast-pick-two-and-how-ngos-can-play-the-triangle-like-a-pro-20d1380884a8|Here's another article]] about it, referring to the three points with my terms.
