"Be the job, great or small;
Do it right, or not at all!"
I wish I could take credit for that one, but some guy named anonymous wrote it.
{I'm certain my teenage son is sick to death from hearing it.}
Hopefully, you've found the lion's share of screw ups and can get on with your
project without getting too upset. One day, hopefully, you will be able to look
back with pride on what you have accomplished.
Good luck on your project.
