Exchanging Apples and Ideas

Sorry about the silence, folks, I’ve been enjoying the sights and sounds of Colorado Springs. What a place!

Anyway, while catching up on emails and such, I came across a George Bernard Shaw quote that I thought was too good not to pass on:

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.

But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these, then each of us will have two ideas.

It’s a beaut, isn’t it?

Wow.

That one is a beaut. I think I’m going to print out a pic of GBS and attach that quote and get it up on the wall in my classroom.

Thanks for sharing that. I’m looking forward to hearing more about your CS trip. I wish I could’ve popped in, but it is 1000 miles away.

It’s a cracker, isn’t it, Lee?
