Naviblog Thought 26: Brooks on Doing

"Numquam incertus - Whatever you're doing, you'd better go do it."

"You can't steer a ship that's not underway. At any time, you ought to have pretty clear goals, and know where you're going, and be going there. On the other hand, you always should be open to saying, 'Is that what we really ought to be doing? Here's another idea.' But sitting in the water to decide which way to go is the wrong thing to do."

- Fred Brooks, ex-IBM engineer
