We must develop knowledge optimization initiatives to leverage our key learnings.

Life is half delicious yogurt, half crap, and your job is to keep the plastic spoon in the yogurt.

You already barely exist. Disappearing entirely won't be that much of a change.

Computers and rocket ships are examples of invention, not of understanding. ... All that is needed to build machines is the knowledge that when one thing happens, another thing happens as a result.
