The reasons are sometimes complicated and not always
clear why a certain business fails? Upper management, lack
of funding, or just the free market phasing out unwanted
items or services. Typically, startups have a casual attitude
to promote efficiency in the workplace, often needed to get
their business off of the ground. A new trend in failed
startups is the purchasing of patents by what are derogatorily
known as “Patent trolls”.

Psalm 23

23 The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell[a] in the house of the Lord
Forever.
