Think simple

This is just to serve as a reminder to myself that it is very important to simplify things and to always questions the assumptions. If there is a fundamental assumption then that should also be discussed with friends. If one is thinking of a complex way to do some job assuming that the customer might be unwilling to provide some information then THINK AGAIN. Customer might feel more than willing to give you that info.
Moral of the story : ALWAYS QUESTION YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
