One day, Bobby’s boss gave him the task of writing a
proposal letter to an advertising company. He asked him to describe their

their product. He also told him to do some research on the company and their ad

had not started writing the letter. He kept on researching and researching,
never starting the letter. When his boss called him, he fumed with anger. The
