The power of the rolling wave

“Workload is like the ocean—it hits you wave after wave, endlessly. You need to learn how to stay above—sometimes you tread water but you can only do this for a short time, sometimes you jump the waves, and sometimes you just beach yourself. And oh yeah… watch for sharks—the things that bite you when you least expect it.” — Nancy Greco, IBM Watson Researcher, Inside the Inventive Mind.
