Consider the Consequences

“Every great man has become great,
every successful man has succeeded,
in proportion as he has confined his
powers to one particular channel.”

Orison Swett Marden

The mark of the superior thinker is his or her ability to accurately predict the consequences of doing or not doing something. The potential consequences of any task or activity are the key determinants of how important a task really is to you and to your company. This way of evaluating the significance of a task is how you determine what your next frog really is.

Dr. Edward Banfield of Harvard University, after more than fifty years of research, concluded that “long-time perspective” is the most accurate single predictor of upward social and economic mobility in America. Long-time perspective turns out to be more important than family background, education, race, intelligence, connections, or virtually any other single factor in determining your success in life and at work.

Your attitude toward time, your “time horizon,” has an enormous impact on your behavior and your choices.
People who take a long view of their lives and careers always seem to make much better decisions about their time and activities than people who give very little thought to the future.
