Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!
Not long back, say a couple of months ago, I was at a training program where I learnt of the above quote. Now, I'm not trying to say (or even claim) that I'm a visionary of any sort, but this is just the sort of thing that I've always believed in. And for my personal idea to be corroborated by someone as eminient as WH Murray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._H._Murray), counts for something, in my view!
Thanks, Chetan, for making me realise that what I've always believed in is true...
