Just Do It

I have mentioned to several developers of late that they need to remember that the in the lifespan of an application 75-80% is maintenance of the application.  When you add new cool features and new cool techniques you usually make maintenance harder.   I recommend you keep it simple and to the point of what the client wants.  The most important thing is to understand what the client wants.  When you know what the client wants try to not over deliver or under deliver.   You are not the client and there are reasons a client may not want the cool new feature.  Even if finished in time there are things you might not understand.

 The same goes with living for God.  We need to stop sometimes and keep our lives simple and to the point.  Find out what God wants.  If you have not heard an audible voice then read his word.  He gave us plenty of instructions there.  Next we need to not try to add the new cool fads of religion.  We need to follow what God wants not what we think he wants.  If we try to over deliver we are out of God’s will.  He may have a reason for where we are or what he has asked us to do that we do not know.  I am sure Joseph would have been happy to be out of prison but God had a plan.  Abraham and Sarah tried to help God but that was not God’s plan.  Follow God’s plan for your life even if it does not seem cool.  You never know where you might end up some day.

Just Do it.
