Project.

The progress of this project had been delayed for quite a while. I have ideas of creating something which simplify communication between two person who used different language since 2006 when I joined the Linux company who participates in open source development. I have joined the internationalization (I18N) team and part of my job involves input method engine (IME). My ex-manager was very encouraging on private projects in our spare time which both benefit the world and our computing skills.

Then about 2 years was passed. After up and down of motivation and relationship in the same position, different assignments at work, resignation of my ex-manager, different kinds of daily domestic stuffs that kept coming up everyday; I wasn't spending too much time on roll this project. Or I should say I was excusing myself on my diversion sadly.

I was sorta 'framework' person who often insisted to have some framework built before operations. This means sometimes the real meanings and goals of actions are forgotten during planning, structuring, tidying. Though one might not very aware but this is fatal to one's achievement. Because universe is changing, we could never formulate something which could apply to everything or forever.

There are generally two extremes of human: process oriented and objective oriented. I was unfortunately the former. Now I am teaching myself to concentrate on how to achieve the goal rather than make everything nice before starting the journey. You couldn't ever start your journey if you are over perfectionism. Satisfied yourself in advance to start the journey will be never be possible to meet perfection.

As long as the planned is done, it is outdated and inapplicable. We could start the project and lead toward quality.

Hmm, it's a bit long for me to realize the ultimate importance of "knowing the essence". :P
