A wise man one said...
No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.
Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.
