Ganb8te 5 - Escaping the abyss

[Mozza]

For reference, here is the post about the Stockdale paradox. Key quote:

When Collins asked who didn't make it out of Vietnam, Stockdale replied:

"Oh, that's easy, the optimists. Oh, they were the ones who said, 'We're going to be out by Christmas.' And Christmas would come, and Christmas would go. Then they'd say, 'We're going to be out by Easter.' And Easter would come, and Easter would go. And then Thanksgiving, and then it would be Christmas again. And they died of a broken heart."

Since I've read this, I've stopped thinking in terms of timelines. You can say that I've decided that I was passed my deadline already and at the "move on" phase.
