Excuses, excuses...

In trying moving things forward, there is always an ample of supply of reasons for not acting that never fail to come up. People have different values, are working from different agendas and operating at different speeds. All these variations create the kind of interferences that can jam up the gear box and bring everything to a complete stop.

Undisclosed agendas often are the big problems that remove transparency from the process and are meant to promote the status quo. This is when it's okay to stop “playing by the rules” and start moving ahead.
