Advice, James W. Botkin

Spending fifteen minutes thinking about what you are going to do before you start will save four hours of wasted time later on. Any individual who has thought through her workday, set priorities, and organized the days’ tasks is likely to accomplish far more than someone who randomly moves through the day.

- James W. Botkin

---

People who have a tendency to mindlessly start a task without planning things ahead are doomed to fail, whereas people who draw out the bigger picture before starting anything are likely to succeed. Lincoln once said “If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six sharpening my axe.”- those who follow these words will be closer to success. A small difference in routine can determine success or failure.

Success·Failure, George Bernard Shaw

People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.

- George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

---

When one starts to blame their surroundings or community, they lose confidence, begin to feel less significant, and will increase their chance of failing. Successful entrepreneurs will often attribute their success to external factors or luck, while blaming themselves for any shortcomings. An era of “creative circumstantial management” is needed, where one must not succumb to difficult circumstances; but adapt and make the most out of the situation they’re in.
