After writing software for so many years, I'd think that I was a reasonable and logical thinker.
But for many years, I've refused to give up something unreasonable.
I'm totally convinced that when I talk about something I want to do but haven't started yet, I lose power. I lose the ability to do it. Either because the listener doesn't think I can do it, doesn't believe in it, or thinks I shouldn't do it the way I want to. Or maybe I just plain ol' don't do it because I'm doing something else...however it happens, I've lost some power. I've lost some or all of the ability to do it.
Whether it's real or perceived, I have no idea. But it happens.
So this year, when I am thinking about doing something, I mention it to my wife but that's it. And even that is pushing the limits.
