“Have a bias toward action – let’s see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.”
– Indira Gandhi, Iron Lady of India
Imagine you’re exploring infinite space in a spacecraft made up of exhaustible resources. The fuel is limited, and you don’t know where to go.
Where you’ll land?
Most probably, nowhere.
Now, could you come here and listen to me?
If you don’t know where to go, you have no destination. You’ll land somewhere, but you’ll waste time and sufficient resources that could otherwise have been used to create better things.
The action is not sufficient. Hard work is not enough. Dedication is not exemplary.
If you don’t have a goal, you’re like the space traveler who doesn’t know a planet to land.
If you could’ve infinite time to live and an inexhaustible supply of resources, space exploration without a destination was worth it, but you know the reality.
Could you set a big goal and keep it measurable?
Scale is still one of the most important inventions. You can measure your progress.
Create small milestones and start the journey.
