Well, Kyle, thank you for your effort. If there's something I object against our western culture, is that we think by numbers, while our eastern counter-parts think by feelings. I'm a fan of Zen philosophy, or culture, or way of thinking - I find it "only" more natural than any statistical charting, and more immediate, too. It's no wonder that the quick-responding martial fightings were born, and dwell, in the Far-East, while we still stick to the slow boxing, or football / soccer - et similia. Unfortunately, I can't invest in funding non-reflection-based management systems, but - believe me - if I could, I would. Thank you, keep going.
