Summary

Abstract

We’ve covered a great deal of material in this text, and as we approach the end, let’s take the opportunity to review what we’ve discussed. The primary question to ask when facing a problem is “what’s my objective?” If you don’t have your goal well focused and plainly in mind, your hope of attaining the goal is minimal, and even if you do attain it, you might not even know that you did! Keep your eye on the objective whenever you’re solving a problem. It’s all too easy to simply march off in the quest for a solution and forget what you were trying to solve in the first place. It’s also easy to be diverted or side-tracked into addressing some other concern that may or may not be of comparable importance.

Is it progress if a cannibal uses knife and fork?
