From Pizzola. I really need to heed this advice!!!!!!
as I quoted the other day from this gentlemen:

How do we begin the journey to successful predictions and decisions? Again, there are no rules, but there are some things which you can do to move along. To those who must have a mechanical approach, I can only tell you that you are sentencing yourself to mere competence at BEST. One of my favorite quotes is attributed to Lao Tze, the compiler of the Tao Te Ching. He said, "When the great Way is lost, there arises codes of conduct and behavior."
