If you've never been where you are going now, it's a good idea to draw upon the experience of those who have blazed the trail before you.  Their experience is a map of sorts which can help you trek the maze ahead.  With a map you can determine exactly where you are and minimize your chances of getting lost.  Slow down and focus on the journey ahead.  See the road maps (links) in these categories.
