I re-read that post and it seemed more harsh than desired. I'm going to blame it on being a disgruntled Dallas Stars fan(they were losing their playoff series 3-1 at the time...). Trust I meant no ill of it, and thanks again for proving you take your reader's comments to heart. Juuso, sorry mate. I re-read that post and it seemed more harsh than desired.

But, let's not get into semantics shall we. :) @Dragkon: Well, we might also remember that some guys have took the puck in their own goal without taking shots – so I technically you can goal without taking a shot.

So, very...untrue. Do a search on the Dallas and Vancouver series...game 5. Thought the goal was missed, it was not by a lot. Perhaps it would be more accurate to stick to quoting Gretzky. Anyway, as far as the advice, it is very accurate inded. Every goal has to be given an honest shot in order to be a score. “It’s obvious that in ice hockey you cannot score a goal unless you take a shot.” So, very…untrue.

It's a well known technique that entrepreneurs use to make money fast whilst other people are still planning every last detail.

Beats shower singing 6-0 ;) @Tuna: Yes, I would completely agree that research and planning are needed, otherwise it might end up being in the situation where you are taking as many shots as possible... just to realize that it's your own goal... @Jay: What’s wrong with ideas that you get in the shower?

As a side note people often do lots of planning for their projects put don't plan the project itself. Example - they may plan out their engine, the design, etc, but fail to make a plan for development so that the project can succeed.
