Motivational Power Quote
 
When It's Time to Act, Take Action
 
"Imperfect action is better than
perfect inaction."
Harry Truman, 33rd President of the US  
   
As I see it. . . . . . . .
When it's time to act, take action  
Take the actions needed to get the job done, at the risk that the action may not be perfect. Do the best you can with what you have from where you are.  
If we wait to take the perfect action, we may never get started or act. Very seldom are any actions perfect.
