““The way I approach problems is to say, ‘What’s the optimal solution?’ and then work backwards.”
Yes, back away from the optimal solution. A bit like saying “America is the greatest country on Earth and I want to change that!”
“I am a believer in Woody Allen’s adage that 80 percent of success is showing up.”

He was a player, it’s just that without Paul McCartney he was a pretty bad song writer...
What’s funny about the Lenin quote is that it was Obama’s response to a tour guide in Russia at Vladimir Lenin’s tomb. The tour guide pointed out that many of the bodies buried near the Kremlin were rumored to be Lenin’s lovers.
But, yes, you’re absolutely right about McCartney. :)
