I ate a whole pie!

There was a tv cartoon called “The critic”, where the main character, at a point of trying to do everything he could think of, proclaimed he had even eaten a whole pie!

Just because you ran out of good ideas, doesn’t mean you should try bad ideas. Nor does it indicate that all your ideas have equal value.

Most every decision is taken because "It seemed like a good idea at the time." But when the best idea is to eat pie, maybe you should accept the fact that you don't have any good ideas.

Get new blood, start talking with everyone. Keep at it until you are no longer saying "It's the best I could come up with."

It takes effort, and the willingness to listen. But sometimes it's the only way to keep your company afloat.
