You could spend years and years figuring out how to take
three steps at once. Or you could simply take one step, and
then the next, and then the next.

Being able to think things through is a tremendously
valuable skill. But don't let all that thinking prevent you
from doing.

Sometimes it pays to think of a more efficient or effective
or faster way to complete the task. Other times you're
better off when you just go ahead and do it.

Analyzing what you must do can be helpful. Yet analysis by
itself won't get the job completed.

After you think it through, go ahead and get it done. Put
your clever thinking into action, and you'll have something
of tangible value to show for it.

Put your mind to work and you'll create great ideas. Then
put those ideas to work with your efforts, and bring them
successfully to life.
