Consider this young pine tree. It grows by adding branches to its top while shedding the ones beneath it. We also can't identify the end of its youth and the beginning of a more mature stature.
We can barely notice the growth. Pine needles pop out at a painfully slow rate, such that our minds cannot comprehend the patience needed for it.
Even with this understanding, we still won't know if it is fully grown.
I would like to think that I am like this young pine: having twisted in the wrong directions a few times, I am ready to head upwards again. Although uncertain if I will botch up again, I am equally unclear what my full height will be. With every bit of apprehension comes an equal measure of hope.

YAY! Duane's blog is back! Good to have you, dude. BTW, I have no idea what's going on with my upper branches yet either. I was considering my job prospects today and I'm really second guessing that whole systems engineering thing i did at school. Not too marketable, it seems.
Great site lots of usefull infomation here.
