Ray ranted, "All that self-help stuff has never worked for me. In fact, it usually makes things worse." I asked him for examples...
232: You Can't Do Everything First
My granddaddy ran one of the biggest plumbing shops in his town, and when he'd spy one of his men dithering over what to do next, he'd simply say, "Son, you can't do everything first." And neither can you or I. If all your options are good, then it doesn't really matter which one you choose first. Throw a dart if you have to, but move. Make a decision. Get yourself into motion.

Tonight the beach is dark. No fireworks will dazzle the crowds tonight. No concession booths will sell snacks, and no families will congregate to enjoy the summertime display. All those plans. All the money invested in food, in merchandise, in giant fireworks that shoot two hundred meters into the air. When a typhoon comes, the merchants here just go to Plan B.
239: How I Lost The Secret Of Dazzling Success For 20 Years
When I started a new job selling door-to-door, it seemed like heaven. I was ecstatic from the first minute of the first day. Every house I walked up to, my heart sang and I said over and over to myself, "I am SO-O-O-O-O-O glad to be out here and not trapped in that cubical." Then, after a few weeks, something quietly changed.
