There can’t be anything more annoying than having to work the day after. After what? It doesn’t matter. Could’ve been a wedding, a family get-together, a party, a show, a big meeting, a product launch, a Grand Opening, all that does is the nagging pain in your head and the desire to get more sleep.
But, when we
concede to our desire to relax, we make a fatal mistake, break the antique
dish. You’ll soon see what I mean…
After the
retreat from Stoney
Creek a week
or so previous, the American forces met up with Major General Morgan Lewis’s
reinforcements. But they didn’t have time to make use of them. British
commander Captain Sir James Lucas Yeo of the Royal Navy started bombarding the
American forces and, with the help of native allies and Canadian militiamen,
pushed the Americans back to Fort George
The big lesson
from this is the Americans, who’d suffered a devastating and unnecessary defeat
a week previous, nearly reassembled as if nothing had happened. Only the
British follow-up really pushed them back.
Many times we
get complacent after something works out. We say, “we did it! Hooray!” And
though there’s nothing wrong with that, complacency is where we mess up.
When you’ve
done something well, be like Captain Yeo. Follow up. You won’t want to;
you’ll want to party and enjoying your success. But your victory will turn to a
frustrating loss if you’re not careful. The art of getting things done is only
bettered by the art of making sure they’re ACTUALLY done afterwards. Results
and endings are all that people remember and, therefore, all that matter.
Make sure you
make yours a good one.
