 "Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that's where you will find success." -- Thomas J. Watson
Big groups out-prioritize the work of single researchers when competing for resources.  Larger groups have a larger need for resources, can benefit more people, and can accomplish more with the same amount of time.  A one-man army is only a fractal unit of large groups and teams and can only put out a fraction of their work.  This increased competition only hinders your work and hinders your progress.

 Still not convinced?  Any advantages of the one-man army, if any, can be scooped up by collaboration in a new form: the Armada.  Smaller, previously established teams can branch off and accomplish whatever it is a single one-man army could achieve.  The fragmented collaborated becomes an Armada.  Failures by any singular member are buffered by the individual success of anyone.  Research may proceed in any direction.  The total time spent is the same as the one-man army, but they have exponentially increased opportunities for success and only need to succeed once to have progressed the research for the time-span.  An experiment from the one-man army takes as long as the collaboration to set up, but the individual only gets one chance at success.

 Do you operate with a one-man army?  What are your thoughts on its advantages and disadvantages?  Comment below!

  "The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones that do." --Anonymous  If you find yourself fascinated by a new idea, chances are good that there’s something meaningful about it for you to consider. Fascination, quite simply, is nature’s way of getting our attention. Well beyond seduction or attraction, it’s an indication that we are being called. Out of the thousands of ideas with the power to capture our imagination, the felt fascination for one of them is a clue that there’s something worthy of our engagement. Don’t dismiss it as trivial. Give it room. Give it time to breathe. Honor it. If you have any doubt, consider the origins of the word “fascination”. It comes from the Latin “fascinus,” meaning to be “enchanted or delighted.” What enchants or delights us is sacred — or could be sacred — a clue that something significant is knocking on our door. Indeed, if we are willing to let fascination grow inside us — a kind of immaculate...

Back to life! Back to reality!

"Metacognitive abundance is the ability to reflect on one's own thinking and learning processes in a way that promotes continuous growth and improvement. It is a critical skill for success in any field, as it allows us to identify our strengths and weaknesses, set goals, and develop strategies for achieving them." - John Dunlosky , Professor of Psychology at Kent State University.
