The Great Mistakes

History is littered with Great Mistake refugees, hindsight is always 20/20. In the heat of the moment and you have seconds or minutes to choose a path, that will have a great impact on your customers and employees, you have to make a decision, right or wrong, because you are the owner or the boss, you are live, people are watching you, you can't take it back, the proverbial camera is rolling, events have conspired against you, your back up plan failed, what would you do? You procrastinated long enough hoping for some clarity, you made previous decisions based on the best information you had, some information was true, some was a lie, shame on you for trusting those around you, they let you down. Now it's on your plate, firmly, the customer, the employees, the shareholders, the bank want answers, the rubber is well and truly meeting the road. The software did not perform, the shipment did not make it on time, the employees want to be paid, the vendors and the bank are screaming, your livelihood is on the line, you can feel the sweat beading on the back of your neck and boom there it is, clear as day, a three legged dog passes by the front of the office, doing the best that it can, just being a dog, like it didn't know it was supposed to have 4 legs. Happy to participate in anything that's going on around it, just wants to be. Some things just are and we find a way, some beds we make for ourselves, in perspective, we compound great mistakes, and when it's all over, we look back and wonder, how the hell did that happen?

If it does not look good on your screen when you design it, there is no magic fairy dust that's going to help it from that point on.
