“The KJV translators were not KJV-Only. They would most definitely support the work of later translators building on their foundation and being helped by their labors.”

“The creators of blue oceans, surprisingly, didn’t use the competition as their benchmark.17 Instead, they followed a different strategic logic that we call value innovation. Value innovation is the cornerstone of blue ocean strategy.
