A prominent physician who is an

valuable:
First go to work; talk afterward.
Make up your mind at the start what
kind of road you are going to build.
Then when you begin work on the
road give it your full attention.
If you do this much yourself you
will learn more about how to make
country roads better in two hours than

talk afterward.
The second thing is study the needs
of the little stretch of road upon which
you actually do your work. Make that
