The choice I made about this stand of trees today will play out over the next several decades. I'll be retired, maybe gone, before anyone knows whether I read the land right. There's something unsettling about pouring your judgment into work whose verdict you'll never live to hear.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your decisions unfold over decades, and you'll never know whether you got them right.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
