2012年に英語版で読んだ時、こうまとめていた。長くて再読する気が起きないが、当時はこれを何度も復習し体に刷り込んだ。自分の考えの根底にこの考えは存在している。
今でも無意識に、計画を立て、毎朝読み、実行に駆り立てている。たまにこの習慣をサボる時期もあるが、その時はどうも生活リズムがしっくりこない。
体に入れる、ってのはそういうこと。

<Decision>
- Those who talk too much do little else. “Deeds, and not words, that what count most.”
- If you talk more than listen, you not only deprive yourself of many opportunities to accumulate useful knowledge, but also disclose your plans and purposes to people who will take great delight in defeating you, because they envy you.
- Thought, backed by strong desire, has a tendency to transmute itself into its physical equivalent.
