You Must NEVER EVER EVER EVER Do This

You know something?  There is one particular action that could legitimately discontinue a whole lot you do businesswise, in my opinion, and socially.  It will make your entire efforts to this factor out of date and worthless.  An attitude that will totally deflate everything you’ve done.

Why is it that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the Civil Rights Movement? He wasn’t the only man who suffered in a pre-civil rights America.

And why is it that the Right Brothers were able to figure out controlled powered man flight when there were certainly other teams who were better qualified, better funded, and they didn’t achieve powered man flight?
