“Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.” – Carlyle
It is good to plan ahead, to have a vision for the future for life, family and career. But we must remember that it is the short-term activities done well that contribute to the long-term goals.
If I am a student and my goal is to be president of a large company one day, I must focus to excel in my studies now and also to learn from other sources about leadership and management.
Focus on the task at hand and do it well.
