Like quitting a job knowing he'll be fired or breaking up with someone who wants to leave him.

(6,917 posts)Probably the same reason I am not president of the United States, I have a broad and shallow knowledge of many subjects. But I am only expert in one. Donald Trump is experienced, alright. But he doesn't have 40 years experience, he has one-year's experience 40 times over.
And still hasn't learned to serve others first---that is the key to business success in the long run.
