Burning Bridges Some of you that are not youngsters probably have heard these words at some point or another. Typically it's used in sentences such as "Don't burn any bridges"...Basically what that means is to think before you do something because if you don't you won't be able to correct it. Now, don't get me wrong in my 40+ years I have "burned bridges" and even pulled a "Bridge on the River Kwai" (if you have never seen it great WW II movie), where I went well past the burning of the bridge. In hindsight I have never looked back as any that I burned and wished I could correct or made amends. That is not to say it is a good thing, burning any bridge is never a good thing in life or in business. Maybe if I had burned them in my earlier years [+]
