Before you act, hold back. You would think that immediate, unmitigated action is best. Act quick! Buy now! Hurry before it’s too late! These seem to be the cultural beliefs we’re imprinted with. But is acting quickly really better? I think sometimes the opposite is better. Think about what you want, but wait to act. Just spend ten minutes thinking about what you want to create and allow yourself to feel what it will be like to take action. I think you’ll find when you build anticipation like this, the quality of your action will improve.
2、三思而行
你或許認為“雷厲風行，只爭朝夕”是最好的辦事風格吧。馬上！現在！立即！要不就太晚了！這類觀念似乎已在我們的文化中打下了深深的烙印。然而，雷厲風行就一定會捷足先登嗎？依我看，有時倒是適得其反。所謂“三思而后行”，就是讓你在付諸行動之前花上十來分鐘把要做的事通盤考慮一下，并預期一下事態(tài)的走向和結果。我想，如果你預先做了這類功課的話，將會發(fā)現辦事的效果有了質的飛躍。
