The discovery of this reality is hindered rather than helped by belief, whether one believes in God or believes in atheism. We must here make a clear distinction between belief and faith, because, in general practice, belief has come to mean a state of mind which is almost the opposite of faith.

Belief clings, but faith lets go. In this sense of the word, faith is the essential virtue of science, and likewise of any religion that is not self-deception. — Alan W. Watts

As we considered the "track them down and win them over" approach, you'll remember, we found that while winning greater stakeholder access may help, more careful positioning of one's offering to each stakeholder's needs actually hurts us - at least in terms of driving high-quality deals.
