Hasty climbers have sudden falls.

All great leaders since Moses have known that a feared enemy must be crushed completely. (Sometimes they have learned this the hard way.) If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smolders, a fire will eventually break out. More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation: The enemy will recover, and will seek revenge. Crush him, not only in body but in spirit.

No moment is wasted if you pay attention and learn the lessons contained in every experience.

When it comes to mastering a skill, time is the magic ingredient.
