"In the center of the curve are the vast majority of people. They're indifferent. Apathetic. They're thinking of themselves. Then there is a small minority of people who will extend a helping hand to you. They will work with you, share resources with you. And there's another small minority that is going to be hostile to you. Don't let that small group of doubters derail you." —Art Walker p 319
