Learn from Dacota Indians

There is a famous tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians :

"When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."


This is a truism Unfortunately too often we see people in today business life hanging on to a product, a project or an organization while it already died. Even worse, they keep on investing more energy and hope the product comes back to life. 

Some might use a stronger whip to bring the horse back to life, others might do mouth to mouth. None of these strategies will fly. 

Despite your lasting enthusiasm you can't bring a dead horse back to life. MOVE ON ! START AGAIN ! RESET ! NEXT ! LEARN FROM IT (why did your horse die ?)
