"In human affairs of danger and delicacy successful
conclusion is sharply limited by hurry. So often men trip
by being in a rush. If one were properly to perform a
difficult and subtle act, he should first inspect the end to
be achieved and then, once he had accepted the end as
desirable, he should forget it completely and concentrate
solely on the means. By this method he would not be
moved to false action by anxiety or hurry or fear. Very few
people learn this".
