One day at a time.<br>
<br>
We like to believe we can make grand plans, and sometimes we even can;
however, successful plans tend to be either detailed or long-term but
_not_ both simultaneously - the future isn't that predictable.<br>
<br>
What we do is, we hold general principles that history tells us we can
rely on - knowledge is better than ignorance, progress is better than
stagnation and decline. Then within that, we set ourselves to
individual tasks that will contribute in some way to those long-term
goals. We work, each of us at our chosen task, one day at a time; and
we discover the future, one day at a time.<br>
