At lectures on management they talked about the correct setting goals. In connection with this, an example was given. When the Americans began to develop the lunar
program, they formulated its task as follows: “Deliver an American
citizen to the Moon _first_.”

Of course, no one was going to leave him there, but with such
formulation problems may arise with obtaining resources, for example, to
install life support systems.

Therefore, in the future, the wording changed as follows: “Deliver
an American citizen to the Moon first and return to Earth alive.”

Only 5 words. But, think about how these five words radically change the meaning.
