Don’t ya just love serendipity? After hearing the oft-repeated “why does software take so long?” question for the bazillionth time in my career, a fuzzy version of a quote I heard a long time ago came to mind. It was something like “anything is easy for the man who doesn’t have to do it himself”. I fuzzily thought that Mark Twain was the originator of the quote. For at least 20 minutes, I googled “Mark Twain” and various phrasings of the quote in an attempt to try and find the exact version of it. Alas, it was not to be and I moved on with my life.

A couple of days ago, guess what happened? Serendipity came to the rescue via my RSS reader. One of the blogs that I subscribe to is called “Quotes Of the Day”.  Sure enough, this showed up as one of them:

“Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn’t have to do it himself.”- A. H. Weiler

Kool huh? I was so thrilled that serendipity paid me a visit that I incorporated the quote into my e-mail signature.
