Dont ever reinvent the wheel

For the last two days i have been slogging it out. And realized a very basic thing that i knew for a very long time. "Dont ever try reinventing the wheel". First,. there is no glory in it. Second the person who had originally invented the wheel must have already improved upon the same. And hence u are by all probability going to end up with an inferior product, at the cost of more hours than were needed to be spent on that.

I recently read somewhere that in today's age of search engines it is almost a crime not to know anything about any topic in the world. Provided that they are all a few clicks away. I think i can correlate that to my present state of mind. Its always advisable to check up on present advances on any subject before actually jumping in and trying to solve the problem. It will save us a lot of sleepless nights....
