Get's 'em every time. But seriously, on the theme of projects and results and all things profitable, I have to start with a Pop's crude wisdom. Manys the times when the chips were down he'd say with some enthusiasm, "you have to **** [urinate] with what **** [penis] you have." Two four-letter words, already.
So in polite company it's, "you have to pee with what dick you have," i.e., use what you have to do the job, and forget what you don't have." I call it the "never" rule. It goes
projects never have enough time/resources but must find a way anywayIt's true in decision making, you never have enough information to make a decision; there is always more you can get. All decisions are based on insufficient knowledge. So? Even procrastinators run out of time--we all have to make decisions, or what become decisions.
Too many people moan about what they don't have. Missing something? Run out of time. So? What can you do with what you have? Then do it. You'll be surprised what happens.
And they say that optimists live longer. Bliss. But it isn't really optimism, it's realism. As long as there is any hope at all, you do whatever you can with whatever you can. Your chance doesn't end till the fat lady sings.
