That is a very, very good question.

Those replies, especially the last one, are worthy of a Pulitzer.

“That idiotic mass called ’the public’ is only useful for getting us into office. When it comes to actual decision making, it’s better if they just shut up.”

Worrying about online privacy. Kids will accept that online privacy simply does not exist. They’ll have the mindset that OF COURSE the government/corporations spy on us, and people who are concerned about it are quaint, clueless, and exasperating.

Be fair to your customers AND yourself.

Don’t bend over backwards to satisfy customers who cannot be satisfied. Some people are just miserable human beings, and some will gladly bankrupt you if it saves them a nickel. Is their repeat business the kind of business you want?

Don’t be afraid to say NO or to set firm boundaries. Nobody respects a spineless pushover.
