About This Quote

This is the way it has always been done. If you want to get something done right, then do it the old fashioned way. Don't mess around. You want results? Do what Watson did.

A man named Watson was a co-reporter on the police commission in the 1800s in New York. He wanted to get on with his work and said “come at once if convenient, come all the same.” The guy worked on getting his reports done without any regard for when they would be submitted or how long they would take to get there. He was so dedicated that he didn’t even pay any attention to what was convenient or inconvenient for him.

Get on with what you need to do and handle things in a practical manner that works for you.
