Being too ambitious is a clever form of self-sabotage

I tend to find if it isn't ambitious enough, than it is just low hanging fruit for competitors... Chances are someone already published something similar.

The market usually doesn't want advanced technology, but rather the comfortable nostalgic dysfunctional totems they always purchased in the past. =)

And drinking to much water is also bad.

We already know that too much of anything is bad and that virtue is in the middle.

Please stop writing articles like this.

>Creation is not birth; it is murder. The murder of the impossible in service of the possible.

What a stupid quote. You know why it's stupid. Because murder is creation. It is the creation of death while destroying life.

Just use the word the way it's meant to be used. Don't come up with quotes that sound clever and trick the mind into thinking a statement is profound when really it's just more word trickery.
