Lay Jr. Beirne · 2 highlights
“One of the lasting lessons which the future creator of Litton Industries learned from the elder Tex is that you can apply the simple solution of a small problem to a much bigger one. Two examples.”
“he said. "But when you really come down to it, there's always a right place and a right time, if a fellow does a little hard thinking. It doesn't take a genius, either. I've proved that. A good idea can be so obvious that it's almost embarrassingly simple. The secret—if it is a secret—is to act on it."”
