Before you excel, ask yourself, what must I excel in? What is worth it?
00:05
Before you speed down a road, ask yourself, which road to take?
00:09
Speed comes later. Choice of the right road comes first.
00:13
It's far better to be slow on the right road,
00:17
than to be lightening quick down the wrong road towards your own destruction.
00:22
Making the perfect choice is far more important than being perfect at the perfect choice.
00:29
Pick up the right project even if you can't initially excel at it.
00:34
Instead, you are taught to choose as per your strengths.
00:38
Because that's what the society and the body want.
00:40
They say, pick up something you can excel at.
00:43
That's a very, very bad way of decision making.
00:45
First of all, realize what is it that really must be done.
00:49
Must be done.
00:50
And then, pick it up even if you cannot excel at it.
00:54
Slowly you will learn.
