Al, as you rightly put it "we all have great ideas that other people may have thought about, but the person who acts is the one who makes a difference".
The emphasis here I think is overcoming procrastination and trying again and again until we get it right.
Thanks for the recommended book. I'll check it out.
A vacation from the task definitely helps. I know when I've been working on a technical item for way too long, I zone out. Walking away from it helps me to realize the missteps in my path.
Not that it helps, but my family/friends are alot happier when I getaway as well.
I guess you knew there was a fearful little monster telling me my ideas weren't good enough for <insert publications>. Thanks for posting today. I will check out The War of Art...it can give me something to do until...
Its inevitable,for any creative profession there comes a time when people can no longer approach their task with the same excitement and focus.
That's when you take a break and do something else that fills your hear with equal(if not more ) joy atleast untill you recover your passion for writing.

What to do when you NEED to get it done? I've read a few pieces about (insert task)-Block (writer/photographer/etc) and it's basically step-back and take a break but what if you need to get it done.
I liked very much your article and the way you think. Furthermore I want to highlight this one "but the person who acts is the one who makes a difference" . And in addition I want to share these lines : If not you, Who ? if not now When ? .

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee.

Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
