There’s a special kind of chaos that happens when enthusiasm outruns planning and things power along full steam ahead without an emergency break.
Sometimes people think that effort is all that matters, but working hard doesn't mean a thing when you're going about everything the wrong way. Take if from these people who tried so hard they failed.
Go big or go home is a great motto until it's time to go home and you've already ruined it trying to go big.
