"I call it the 40-40-20 rule." You get a project to what you think is a state of perfection. But you always discover
that roughly 40 percent of what you've designed into it wasn't really necessary. Another 40 percent needs to be changed to
address problems you didn't foresee. Only 20 percent is really the way you want it. So you go back and tinker with the 80
percent that needs fixing. "And then you get another 40-40-20 the second time, see. But you're gaining on it," he
explains. "That's why it takes four or five iterations to develop something. You try to anticipate everything. But you
can't."
--George Nissen (inventor, manufactor, and promoter of the trampoline and other things) [See: http://www.wvtc.co.uk/history19.htm

"Noble silence is boring."
--Roger Ebert (on August 26th, 2004 - radio)
Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth.
Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.
--Joan Lunden, (Healthy Living Magazine)
"What's important in life is not the surface of things."
--Madonna
