To Plan Or Do Anything Important, Don't Rush: Use Head First

                         To Plan Or Do Anything Important, Don't Rush: Use Head First

Not hands. Not unplanned action! Yes! The reasoning is obvious! In other words, we shouldn't rush into action on important matters. It's far better to check out possible alternative solutions. Consider the options logically. Choose the best. And proceed. Yes. That's how we can save time and do things right! And, yes, we can thus also learn to develop innovative ideas!
