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