In the book
And beware a quirk of the mind here — we discount the future, so a reward that requires waiting quietly loses its pull; knowing this, you can steel yourself for the patience the goal demands. And when the goals pile up, prioritize ruthlessly — run them through a kind of tournament bracket, round after round, until you are left with the single most important priority, the one thing; Buffett's version is to list your top twenty-five aims and then ruthlessly avoid all but the top few. Then — and this is where most dreams quietly die — you must act, and act immediately. A flight plan is worth nothing until you push the throttle; take the action, and take it now, because the one guarantee in life is that if you do not act, nothing whatsoever will happen. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
