Active effectiveness vs passive kindness’ struggle in Macchiavelli’s theories applied to production
1- You should never believe that your opposition does not know their business. Do not take any project lightly.
2- Acquire fame as able, not as good.
3- To know how to recognize an opportunity in any struggle benefits you more than anything else.
4- Make your opposition suspect their own instruments in whom they confide.
Do not commit to any one solution.5- Guard those places better by which you think you can be hurt less.
6- Don’t keep beside you either too great lovers of passiveness or too great lovers of passion.
7- Act so your opposition do not know how you want to organize your plans. But organize your team so they can support each other independently on the plan.
8- Never lead your team into a project unless you are assured of their commitment and confidence in the result. Discipline counts more than passion. Testing a plan helps with final results.
9- Train your team to get used to difficult situations and circumstances.
10- What benefits the opposition harms you and what benefits you harms the opposition.
11- Carefully detail your opposition and objective and plan accordingly.
12- Nature creates very few talents, but dedication and training make many.
13- Always, always consider and reserve resources for a plan B.
14- Keep your team focused until the results are obtained.
15- Organize a team so that is not specialized but flexible in all ventures. But always be clear on assigned tasks.
16- Counsel about options with many, but discuss details with few.
17- Never commit yourself to a specific task in a large project, unless necessity compels you or opportunity calls.
18- Do not rush but take a moment to analyze unexpected issues.
19- Love peace but be educated on how to be bold and move forward.

Back Button Focus advantages
http://thephotographerwithin.com/2015/05/back-button-focus/
What are the advantages of BBF?
Faster shooting with static subjects: you can lock focus with the AF-ON button once then let go of the button for subjects that don’t move. Great for landscapes, macro, even sleepy newborns. No need to refocus every time you press the shutter.
Easier to focus and recompose: you can lock focus using your center focal point with the AF-ON button then let go of the button and recompose your image very easily without having to re-do your focus each and every time you press the shutter. Useful for Canon cameras with limited focal points or if your initial composition isn’t optimal.
Better focus for moving subjects: you can shoot continuously with the AF-ON button depressed and your focus will track your moving subject.
Override and fine-tune autofocus: you can ensure tack sharp images when using Live View and zooming your focal point in to 100%, then locking in that focus by using the AF-ON button. You can even adjust your focus manually by turning your focus ring on the lens without turning the switch to MF on the front of the camera (if required).
And finally, and this is the HUGEST advantage I’ve found, you never, ever need to change your auto focus mode again. Setting it to AF-C/AI Servo AF and using BBF allows you to access all of the focus modes with this one button. BBF eliminates the need for switching focus modes between AF-S/One Shot, AF-C/AI Servo, and AF-Auto. BBF makes AF-C/AI Servo AF usable for both moving and stationary subjects. Wow, right?!
