We can be selective, applying precisely the required amount of pressure at the specified point at a designated time - we've never been told to go down and kill or capture all left-handed redheads in a particular area, but if they tell us to, we can. We will. |
One of the best fucking books ever written.

This man is very intelligent. This is what he said about myself and him. He's awesome. Bow to me.

This book is fucking awesome. If anyone wants to learn anything about the concept of leadership, they will read this book.
