The Art of Asking: How To Get What You Want When They Say No
Have you ever heard ‘Be careful what you ask for, as you may get it.’? It’s a cautionary tale that if you aim too low, you might just find yourself stuck with the mediocre.

No ship will leave the port without a destination, a reliable crew and a navigation system that can guide the path.
