Sounds like someone has some issues with James Cameron
I don’t know much about the man, but it is hard not to be familiar with this work. This quote resonated with me for many reasons, many of which I’d be happy to share over a beer sometime!
He must have some very good speach writers to come up this this. I will look it up in the PMBok and see if I can find it
Wow, lots of vitriol for James Cameron. I love the quote, I find it very inspirational and on point for the work we do.
