Blackbeard says, "When in doubt, attack!"

Avast, me hearties! Gather 'round and heed the words o' Blackbeard himself, spoken in the tongue of modern-day businessfolk.

"Arrr, sometimes ye be findin' yerself wonderin' if yer sailin' the right course, and afore ye know it, ye've been led astray, a week or two gone by without a single plunder to show for it. Most folks, they be gettin' caught in the grips o' doubt, and what do they do? They retreat, like scaredy cats! Doubt breeds fear, and fear, me mates, be the death o' progress. But mark me words, ye'll outshine the masses by followin' one simple rule: when in doubt, ye attack!

Imagine ye be in the midst o' a fierce battle, dropped behind enemy lines with nary a soul but yer crew by yer side. Every move ye make could mean the difference between victory and Davy Jones' locker. So what do ye do? Ye perform yer duties, ye fulfill yer mission, no matter the cost. And if one o' yer mates falters, ye pick up the slack. None o' this 'that's not me job' nonsense! For in business, as in battle, it's all hands on deck, or we all go down with the ship.

But the crux o' the matter be this: when ye find yerself in doubt, ye don't cower like a landlubber. Nay, ye charge ahead, cutlass in hand! Don't fear the business world, me hearties; make the business world fear ye! And mark me words, when the smoke clears, ye'll be standin' tall while the rest be tremblin' in their boots.

Don't be like the cowardly pirate afraid to raise his sword for fear o' losin'. Nay, develop the spirit o' a true buccaneer – fight to the last breath! And ye'll find yerself standin' amongst legends, for heroes be forged in the fires o' adversity.

Aye, sometimes all it takes be fifteen seconds o' courage to change the course o' history. So when fear grips ye, me mates, don't let it hold ye back. Seek out knowledge, ask questions, and let truth be yer compass through the storm. And remember, it's not the treasures ye amass that matter most, but the legacy ye leave behind. So when doubt comes knockin', me hearties, don't let it sink yer ship. When in doubt, attack!"

Arrr, let those words echo in yer souls, me hearties, and may ye sail forth with courage in every venture!
