The Best Systems will Fail or Never be Implemented if There is Not User Buy-in
Systems engineers, theorists and builders of the worlds best thought out systems all realize that even if the system is in fact the best possible use of resources and the most efficient the world has ever known; it cannot work unless those using it accept it.Additionally a horrible system, which does not work properly all the time, is barely adequate and is highly inefficient will actually get the job done and work fine if the humans using it accept it. Thus there in lies the problem with designing perfect systems for humans and a reason to remember that marketing the system to the users is as important as the system itself.Therefore the best systems in the World will Fail or Never be Implemented if there is not Buy-in by the users. They have to want it and be joined in original idea and collaboration for it to be properly implemented. If not humans will sabotage the system, due to emotional factors such as Fear of Change. Please consider this paper I wrote on Finite Capacity Schedule Modeling;http://www.carwashguys.com/finite.pdf#search=%22finite%20capacity%20scheduling%20car%20wash%20guys%22We cannot expect humans in civilizations to accept a system of any type until there is buy-in from the users and they believe that it is the best and best for all their desires as well. Perhaps you will consider this in 2006.

What Happens When Optimization Becomes Overdone?
Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. This is the rule that every search engine optimization professional and web master must follow to avoid being severely punished by search engines. And believe me; search engines do punish web sites that overstep the bounds of good and acceptable SEO practices. You can end up being banned from search engine indexes and if this happens, where would you be? Nobody likes being made a fool of and search engines are no exception.--- Cloaking and Camouflaged Text ---One very “black hat” or very unacceptable search engine optimization practice is cloaking. Cloaking occurs when a web master creates two sets of web pages. One set is for search engine spiders and the other set is for human visitors. When a search engine query is made, the search engines will browse through their indexes to find a result that would be relevant to the surfer’s query. When the web site detects that a search engine sweep is happening, it will show the set that is packed full of keywords relevant to the search query. This guarantees that the web site gets returned at the top of the results list or at least near the top of the list. When the web surfer opens the link to the web site, the correct set of web pages is presented. The visitor would then find out that the web site does not contain the content he or she is looking for. So

What's The Main Difference Between People Who Achieve And People Who Are Average?
"We are all failures-at least, all the best of us are."Ever wonder what makes achievers excel? Why some people skyrocket while others plummet? You know what I'm talking about. You can call it luck, blessing, or the Midas touch-call it whatever you want. But the truth is that some people just seem to achieve incredible things in spite of tremendous difficulties.What makes the difference? Why do some people achieve so much? Is it...Family background, wealth, opportunity, high morals, the absence of hardships?No, none of these things are the key.The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.How people see failure and deal with it - whether they possess the ability to look beyond it and keep achieving - impacts every aspect of their lives.Even positive people have a tough time learning how to see failure positively.Perhaps your attitude towards failure is...1) You fear failure. 2) You misunderstand failure. 3) Your unprepared for failure."People are training for success when they should be training for failure. Failure is far more common than success; poverty is more prevalent than wealth; and disappointment more normal than arrival."In life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal wit
