Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Monday, 2010.02.08 
Every day passes whether you participate or not. If you are not careful, years
will go by and you will only have regrets. If you cannot solve a problem all at
once, at least make a stab at it. Reduce your problems into smaller, more
manageable packages, and you can make measurable progress toward achievement. If
you wait for everything to be perfect according to your preconceived plans, then
you may well wait forever. If you go out and work with the current of life, you
may find that success comes from building upon small things.
