We've all been there. I've finally come around to saying, "What a great idea!

Many have tried, and failed. But note the little poem in my signature lines. Do what you can do, and don't worry about what you can't do. > But things are happening and I'm so busy I can't get the time to do a > conversion that I'm getting payed to do UP FRONT...

It's a little book and a quick read, but it helped me a lot. The basic idea is that we lose sight of our own goals, and instead wind up pursuing other people's goals (our boss's, our customer's, our family's, etc.). The book is about setting your own goals, measuring your progress, and then figuring out whether the things you are doing are getting you closer (or taking you farther away). Building EVs is hard because you get so little support from most other people. Thank heavens for the EV list, or many more of us would give up! -- Lee A.
