Not Everyone Is World Class: Your Best Is Good Enough

by Ed Yourdon

Would you like to be part of a world-class IT organization? Of course you would -- it's like asking whether a basketball fan would like to be a member of the Chicago Bulls team that won three consecutive championships with Michael Jordan, or whether a small-town violinist would like to play with the New York Philharmonic. Similarly, would you like to be recognized as a world-class IT professional? Of course you would -- it's like asking whether you would like to be rich and famous, with a reputation like Andre Agassi in the world of tennis or Gary Kasparov in the world of chess.
