Preliminary ideas are often weak and impure, and need to be driven through a forge in order to become powerful, workable solutions. - Tim Hurson

We think the more detailed and exhaustive our plans, the more likely the future will actually mirror our vision. But it rarely even comes close.

In the heat of the moment, it can be all too easy to generate solutions that take on a life of their own, without reference to the core values of the people developing them or those expected to implement them.

We tend to overestimate what we can do in the short term and underestimate what we can do in the long term.
