If you don't give up, you still have a chance. And when you are small, you have to be very focused and rely on your brain, not your strength.
If you don't give up, you still have a chance.
You should learn from your competitor, but never copy. Copy and you die.
If we are a good team and know what we want to do, one of us can defeat tons of them.
Intelligent people need a fool to lead them. When the team's all a bunch of scientists, it is best to have a peasant lead the way. His way of thinking is different. It's easier to win if you have people seeing things from different perspectives.
