Good estimation vs lengthy measurement

  1. life is all about good estimation.Every now and then we have a habit to represent everything in terms of pie charts and detailed data . Do we need to measure everything and then based on detailed analysis take a forward step?I guess not always.Have you ever seen your mom taking a calibration scale to add milk to tea or a washer man measuring millimetres of water to wash clothes?we see numerous examples in our daily life where we need to skip these minute details and look forward for a rather qualitative approach than a lengthy quantitative measurement.What pops me every time is that we are always busy to get too much involved in early measurements,analysis,algorithms and delay our final goal.A good estimation helps always. People who believe in final quality and are quite sure of their precise estimation are always ahead.Take the example of a soldier who is facing face to face combat with enemy .Do he has the time to calculate angle of inclination ,distance and then after analyzing all the data fire at his enemy . I'm quite sure that if he gets involvedin this detailed study ,his friends will be left to calculate the details of his death.On the contrary ,if he is experienced to have a good estimation ,he will rejoice his victory.So ,estimate your task and finish it with enthusiasm ,zeal and please don't spend too much time analyzing its pros and cons . You have a short life and many things to do .Don't think too much .Go ahead.ESTIMATE your job and success will be all yours .
