Optimistic Obfuscation

I sometimes struggle with this. I know I could go do an easier job and do it WELL. I mean utterly shine with genius... but that just sort of seems silly, because there'd be little effort. So am I consigned to a life of failings, is that what you're saying, Ben? =)

That's basically what I am saying. I was just struck by this quote when I ran across his website. I get frustrated a work a lot because it seems that some people would rather do nothing and point the fingers at others and then look like they never make mistakes than get off their butts and do their jobs and help move everyone along. I get annoyed, not by the people that make mistakes while doing their jobs, but by the people who don't do their jobs so that they won't make mistakes.
