Surround Yourself With Smart People

Two bits of recent wisdom from friends of mine (via Twitter):

Josh Roby: "Done is the engine of more."

Rob Donoghue: "Good managers are not sin-eaters, but rather stupid-eaters. They will knowingly eat the stupid of the company so that others can be smart."

You realize I was just quoting what Rob was quoting off of Boing Boing, right?

I'm not smart; I'm derivative! ;)

Knowing when to repeat what others have said seems pretty smart to me.
