It is very interesting, as I get older, to realize that what looked like "brilliance" from senior faculty members when I was young was just "hey this person has read *a lot* and is pretty good at remembering and connecting lots of interesting things about what they read"

You, too, can cultivate this brilliance if you read *a lot* and practice connecting dots

California, preaching on the burning shore
California, I'll be knocking on your golden door
Like an angel standing in a shaft of light
rising up to paradise
I know I'm gonna shine

Thank you for the music, Bobby. (~):-}

a manager can never be held accountable

therefore a manager must never make a management decision
