Default Re: Just Wondering....

I have been using SamuraiProgrammer for as long as I have had access to the internet - I guess about 8 years.

When I was majoring in physics in college, a study buddy & I adapted the attitude of a zen warrior to our physics tests.

"Never concern yourself about the outcome of the battle - only the beauty of the swing of the sword for it's own sake" became "Never worry about the score on the test - only the beauty of the solution to the problem."

I have since adapted the philosophy to my life's calling - computer programming. "Never worry about the entire program, but only the beauty of one small part at a time" Otherwise translated as "Concern yourself with the details and the big things will take care of themselves.
