Think like an Army Chief

A mentor gave me a brilliant piece of advice recently. Aside from the constant ups and downs that anyone's life goes through, I was going through a confused state. I have tried to encapsulate the advice in the best way possible.

"When in doubt, always think like the Army Chief in a war zone. Usually all doubt comes because we question our conscience, commitment or capability. An army chief, even if he disagrees with the war has to go to war. He doesnt worry about foreign policy, ethics or poles when in battle zone. His focus is so perfect that he doesn't bother about blood, death or loss of life. All the emotion and the death of his comrades is saved for after the battle. So when in doubt, head out to the battlefield and play your best strategy. Save the introspection for later. If you win, you will have a victory to ponder over. If not, a loss is a good teaching experience."

Hope this will help someone who is confused and unsure.
