most things in life...

Thomas Edison folks who have had to endure me for any length of time know i'm fond of repeating the following phrase:

most things in life are not complicated, they just take hard work.

not sure where i got that, but i truely believe it. reaching one's goals usually involves much more effort than we imagined. and there are often very few technically complicated issues standing in our way. Thomas Edison, famous for inventions, was legendary for his perseverance. one of the many quotes of his that i like is:

Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.

The Wisdom Of Thomas Edison

as i come to a major milestone with my exyus engine, i am reminded of these ideas. more work than expected. only a few complicated things. it's been a very productive year. i've worked pretty hard and surmounted just a few complicated challenges. i'm looking forward to wrapping up this phase and starting on the next one.
