Garbage in, garbage out

Josh Kaufman: >The quality of the input you use always has an impact on the quality of the output. > >- If you build an object from poor quality materials, that object will be unattractive and unreliable. >- If you analyze poor quality data, the resulting analysis will be worthless at best, and at worst misleading or damaging. >- If you eat a lot of junk food and don’t move around much, you’ll feel apathetic instead of energetic. >- If the people working on a project aren’t skilled or excited, the end result will inevitably suffer. > > The solution is straightforward: if you don’t want garbage when you’re done, don’t use garbage when you begin. To improve your results, improve the quality of what you start with. Easily applied to design.
