Quote by Edward Everett Hale

Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out and when it does come, it is out again immediately.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we experience anger, it is crucial to approach it with wisdom and control. Similar to the difficulty of igniting fire from a flint, we must work hard to unleash our anger, but once it is unleashed, it should dissipate quickly. Furthermore, it implies that wise anger is not something that lingers or consumes us, but rather a fleeting response in a situation that demands our attention. Thus, managing anger with wisdom allows us to address issues effectively and avoid dwelling on negative emotions.

Customers don't know what they want. There's plenty of good psychology research that shows that people are not able to accurately predict how they would behave in the future. So asking them, 'Would you buy my product if it had these three features?' or 'How would you react if we changed our product this way?' is a waste of time. They don't know.
