Coruscation

Sage advice from the avuncular Donald Rumsfeld:

"Intellectual capital is the least fungible kind."

"Most people spend their time on the 'urgent'
rather than on the 'important.' "

"When you initiate new activities, find things you
are currently doing that you can discontinue--whether
reports, activities, etc. It works, but you must force
yourself to do it. Always keep in mind your
'teeth-to-tail ratio'."
