“A goal without a plan is just a wish”
— Larry Elder
“A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation that made it necessary for him
to make a decision that ensured his success on the battlefeld. He was about to send
his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his
soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment,
then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men
before the frst battle, he said, “You see the boats going up in smoke. That means
that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice—we
win—or we perish!”
