So if you're really committed to the effort, and you want to win, what do you do? Simple: You lie.”

Expecting to do two such scaling efforts in parallel is simply folly, yet that is what the "eggs/basket" idea is often used to justify.”

“Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing.

The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them.”
