Define Your Mission


Define Your Mission

One of my favorite books is The Winds of War by Herman Wouk.  In this book, Mr. Wouk recounts a scene in which General E. J. Tillet, military author and one of the Commanding Generals for England during WWII, is speaking to the main character named Pug Henry.  Tillet is making an observation about Hermann Goering that is applicable to our topic. 

He said this about Goering, “He’s wasted a whole bloody month bombing harbors and pottering about after convoys.  He’s only got till September the fifteenth.  His mission is mastery of the air, not blockade.  Define your mission!  Define your mission and stick to it!” 

Whether you are practicing a golf swing, practicing a difficult piece of music, building an empire, or seeking to marry the person of your choosing, this is applicable.

Define your mission and stick to it.
