Well, the day is finally here. After all that waiting and anticipation, all the speculation in the media and the hideous hype machine in full flow every day. Of course, I'm braced for disappointment, but I'm also full of hope.
I'm seeing Wicked Part Two tonight!

If first impressions count - What about first balls of an Ashes series? - Guerilla Cricket

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

This is why nothing works. Over-confident bidders win contracts by underestimating time and resources so everything is built, and then maintained, on the edge of failure. Roll in an over-confidence that the person speccing the contract will move on to bigger projects, and things are even worse.

I've almost always been a voice against over-confidence and that doesn't win friends nor help you to succeed in workplaces. It does promote empathy though and, I think, makes you a better person.
