Project Management

So sayeth the engineer:

The Rules:

Reality is independent of your opinions.

It's also indifferent to your desires.

Every situation comes with incentives and constraints.

Though you will try to maximize your harvest of the incentives, you must satisfy the constraints.

Effort put toward trying to control the uncontrollable is effort wasted.

The clock is always running; there are no "time outs."

Francis isn't talking about optimizing your VBA in your Microsoft© Office Suite application, but a far more important project. Go see what it is.

He is. (I changed the post a little to reflect what I'm learning about right now.)

Great post and link. Thank you. And thanks for your correction of my misstatement about Sowell being the author of Content of our Character over at La Shawn Barber; of course it is Shelby Steele. Many thanks. Love your blog.

yours in Christ,

Not Perfection: You're very gracious. I'm usually hesitant about correcting some when they're nice, like yourself (the obnoxious are another story). However, I deemed that Mr. Steele's book was too important to refrain.

God bless you.
