HPMD Quotes & Sources

"Imagine a situation in which a soccer player breaks away toward an open goal and suddenly abandons the ball to run back to the bench and ask the coach for the order to kick the ball into the goal. Before he can run back to the ball, he has lost not only the ball but also the game."
