In 1876, the President of Western Union - William Orton, dismissed phones as a “toy” when Alexander Graham Bell offered to sell him the patent for $100,000. Orton wrote an internal memo stating, “The idea is idiotic on the face of it. Furthermore, why would any person want to use this ungainly and impractical device when he can send a messenger to the telegraph office and have a clear written message sent to any large city in the United States?” I start with that quote because it’s clear how … [Read more...] about The cost of doing nothing

Be more Gladiator
What have you been 'putting off' recently? What 'excuses' are you telling yourself as to why it's not yet been completed?
