People confuse good planning and organization with willpower and discipline.

Very few can keep their promise not because of bad intentions but because good and actually accurate planning is extremely difficult

No amount of discipline turns a garbage plan into a viable one

The confusion results from the fact that most man actually lack both strategy and discipline.

If they at least manage to get round to the task at hand — that is considered success.

(Sometimes this attitude of overcoming and disciplining-oneself becomes kind of a perverted mantra (”hustle”) )

When you don’t delude yourself and actually know what you’re doing — you will not need any discipline at all. You will know what needs to be done and will get it done in the smoothest way possible.

good road map > big wheels

I want you to understand it before you blame yourself and your willpower for your shortcomings

Blaming oneself is easy

Being intelligent is difficult

You failed not because you didn’t try hard enough — but because your actions were stupid and your plan was garbage.

Take responsibility instead of blame — and find a better way.
