Quote: "Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should"

I got an interesting quote while reading Chapter 1 (p. 20) of the book "Foundations of Ajax" by R. Asleson and N. Schutta.

...just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I was critized by my advisor once that I lacked the communication skill -- I seemed to put too much detail in Powerpoint presentations. So much that the audience was overwhelmed. My advisor said he knew I was trying to show-off -- to show the so-many-things that I did. But I was supposed to focus on the audience -- to understand what they wanted to here and what they didn't.
