My Way or . . . ?


"The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of all evil in the world."


Max Born

Early 20th century Anatomist and Embryologist


There are few things where there is only one way, one truth and because that is so, I know the odds that what I believe to be the best way, actually being so, is quite small.

My skill, such as it is, is to find the better alternatives.


And you?

  1. But what about "do it right the first time?" Doesn't "right" suggest there is only one way?

    I think so.

  2. Good question.

    I believe that whatever the "it" is should be done right the first time but that there could be many "its".
