"For want of a NAIL, the war is lost."
A good samaritan today told me of this wonderful FACT of life. And, how strange; We all tend to post-pone things. Particularly those so-called trivial matters, like the NAIL of the HORSE-SHOE in this particular story.
For the uninitiated, .. there was once an army general, whose horse has lost the nail of the shoe on one of its hoof. And, when they were just about to march to the war, it was too late, and the general gallopped on his horse, without its shoe properly nailed. And, as you could predict, the horse couldn't perform well and would not respond to the general's commands. The WAR is lost.
How strange indeed. We all do neglect such small matters, and ultimately lose sight of our goal.
Let me not do that anymore.
As a solution to overcome this trouble, (a side-kick of our habits), this great man tells me to START WRITING DOWN the things in a pocket notebook.
GOOD LUCK.
