Next time you find yourself in a situation where you have a decision to make...
Take some time before you act to reflect on whether your actions are aligned with the success of the mission...
Or your own personal interests.
Smart people make decisions that will produce the best possible results.
Stupid people make decisions that will satisfy their pride and ego.
If you truly want to win...
You have to learn to swallow your pride and operate with the bigger picture in mind.
At times, you're going to feel stupid....
You're going to feel uncomfortable...
You're going to feel like you made the wrong choice...
That's all a part of the game...
....and the game is only won by the people who are playing to accomplish the mission.
Don't let your ego sabotage your long-term wins.
Control your ego...
Control the outcome.
