Why Shortcuts In Business Don't Always Lead To Quick Money
"Very good & timely post, Adam. Lots of cheaters assume everyone else cheats, too. They've trapped themselves in their own life-long cycle of illogic in order to justify it. Or, they think they're smart, and we're dumb (something for them to chew on behind bars, perhaps? - if we're lucky). Duncan"Interest vs Commitment in Business
"Interesting Dr. Reece, except in military campaigns "life & death" is Really Life & Death, not mere inconvenience.

"General Patton! That magnificent bastard! I read his BOOK!! "War As I Knew It" Edited posthumously by his wife in 1947. (I've read a lot of books by generals & commanders - always keep in mind that in their view, they never made a mistake in judgment (there were always excuses - they weren't allowed to execute the plan the way they wanted, not enough time, not enough troops, not enough ordnance, etc.).
