I actually borrowed the idea for this post from a thinking course written by <a href="http://www.edwdebono.com/" rel="nofollow">Edward de Bono</a>. He makes the point that you can get a good idea now, a better idea later, and the best idea ... never. At some point you have to impose a deadline so that you can start implementing your ideas. Otherwise nothing will ever get done. By the same token, it is valuable to be aware of the importance of searching for alternatives. Cheers, Tom Zezan,
