Some days feathers.

Yes. A right thing. Perhaps not the best of all
possible right things. Three days from now you may
think of a cleverer tactic, but you were the man
on the ground at the time. I try not to second-guess
my field commanders.

- Never make key tactical decisions
while having electro-convulsive seizures.
To visualize a tipping point, think of
a wave composed of individual drops.
Drops increase the wave, which grows until
it reaches its peak and plunges forward.
This means no effort is useless, because
it is contributing to a larger outcome,
and that even small actions can produce
profound changes.
When life hands you a set of wheels and
sends you around and around in circles,
go rollerskating.
