Yes and no.
Design/vision/planning/you-name-it is good. But you'll not
be on the plane when it takes off if you got caught up in
packing your backpack no matter how neat it looks.

Well, I can't really explain myself on this too well. I am
just a brandished child having witnessed quite a few people
from the academic world throwing their idea on me on how I
should do something. Never did anyone help me actually
getting the thing done. I spent 6 years in med school only
to discover that I was unable to treat a sick person once I
finished. OTOH my stupidity needs to be taken into account
on that, too.
