                                        Sometimes quoted with "difficult" instead of "hard". 
A similar thought was expressed by automobile executive Clarence Bleicher in 1947 (before Bill Gates was born):  "if you get a tough job, one that is hard, and you haven’t got a way to make it easy, put a lazy man on it, and after 10 days he will have an easy way to do it".
