Regarding Nike007's response, I think it was an excellent illustration of the difference between looking at the details vs. seeing the big picture. When I do jigsaw puzzles, I don't look at the final picture to help me. I go piece by piece, filling in the corners and sides first.

When I was learning how to catalog books in a library, my trainer said I was a natural born cataloger. She said something I have never forgotten: You look through a microscope while others look through a telescope.
