First I think the world is going wild with this hoolywood-like what you say and what you don't. A snake wouldn't mind killing you if it finds you're a threat though. And same I'm more empathetic towards animals.

Enough real snakes, this actually reminds me of some clients where we try to discuss the products they want to make. We tend to go explore a lot of problems and the discussion goes on and on (my mistake). What I learnt is to limit the problems, discuss solutions then COMMIT for one solution, don't come back! It's like that snake will reproduce and it's so time and energy consuming.
