The Codfish lays a thousand eggs,
The humble Hen, but one.
The Codfish doesn't cackle around,
To tell you what she's done.
We dreadfully scorn the Codfish,
While the humble Hen we prize.
All of which goes to show
It pays to advertise.
-- Ogden Nash
That's a problem for many doers: they fail to advertise. Unfortunately it is a must in the world we live.
Amount of information doubles every ten years or so (sometimes feels even faster). So we have oceans of information comparing with our ancestors of just 100 years ago. We benefited from the progress, of course, but this side of the progress complicates our lives immensely. We have too much of the garbage info coming through. It is much easier not to notice a quiet doer now than it used to be.
And not to forget, most of the garbage info is very nicely packaged and is good eye candy.
