I think the habit of not reading terms and conditions as really caused me also not to read specifications while acquiring softwares.
I want to expand my knowledge-base to programming smartphones (Windows Phone in particular) so I rushed to download the Windows Phone SDK which was about 1.6GB. Let's start installing, oh no! Meant for only 64bit systems  . Wasted time, resources, and data bundle

It's not all about money. Money is a false goal: it doesn't buy happiness (or the rich would never kill themselves, or take to Crack, or booze. "Enough money" is good - too much or too little doesn't help.
Besides, if you want huge gobs of money without having any noticeable talents, you need to shift to politics, drug dealing or any other life of crime... (or change your name to Nicholas Cage)

It is accountants that make commerce happen.
They ensure profits are made so that wages can be paid and that the needless and swingeing taxes imposed by government is paid where appropriate.
Accountants are Supermen, bestriding the Earth saving everyone from the menace of communism and evil and they ask for so little in return.
I have charged you for this message and will write off it's cost against your next return, although if you outsource the response you can get a tax break that will actually show a profit, which we can cascade through the asset register over a 5 year period taking full advantage of CGT and Corp Tax Disposal allowance.

Ahem. Speaking as a business owner; my accountants do absolutely nothing to generate profits. They ensure I comply with my fiduciary responsibilities, but they don't actually produce anything of commercial worth for my clients - the people who actually pay us. They are the people who generate our profits - not the accountants.

Because he has no discernable talent or acting ability but persistently gets cast in movies.
And then proceeds to turn a good sounding idea into a turkey.
