Figure what the problem is and fix it instead of dealing with a workaround that hinders performance. I like it! :) Good story, Brip Blap.

Er.... :) @Fecundity: Think Outside the Shoe ... good one! :) @Guinness416: Everything I need to know I learned from A-Rod. Hard to argue with someone whose value to the world is more than 650 times the average American family of four's income and yet practically hasn't done anything ever in the postseason. Argh. @Danny, you’re right, real estate would be a great example of this in real life.

I think it could also be summarized as "Think Outside the Shoe", though I may have played one too many rounds of Buzzword Bingo lately at the office.

The poor young men who didn't see taking it out as an option. Of course, they probably would in real life, but they're not creative thinkers. :) That story made me laugh.

Sometimes pride gets in the way especially with passionate people. I've been known for that sometimes when a startup business doesn't go as planned. I think this story applies to a lot of people who purchased real estate during the past 2 years as an investment. A lot of people are upside down on their loans and still having to pay up every month. Maybe its time to re-evaluate and figure out what to do with that stone. Awesome story.
