I believe there is a comparison.  How we make personal choices provide a format of how we make professional choices.  The money I spent for my kid's education was a significant portion of my resources and there were many sleepless nights.  But, it wasn't just providing money.  It meant fully supporting my kids through their tough and good times even when the grades gave me a headache.  I firmly believe that once we make a decision to do something, everyone needs to unhitch their horses from their own wagons and hitch them all to that one wagon and pull like heck.  Through ruts in the road and broken wagon wheels, we all need to keep pulling and get the job done.  I also look forward to the completion of the forensic audit, and I hope there will be situations identified in the project where the cost could have been significantly reduced if everyone involved with the project had worked together.
