When Your Mindset Is “Do It Alone

Some people never think about finishing their tasks. Tasks are never truly finished, so remember this: not finishing them is correct. Why would you want to finish them? Do you want to be killed after the millstone has done its job? What you should be doing is not finishing tasks, but expanding them—maximizing your utility value. It's in the process of making tasks bigger that you might soar like a rocket. What you've done isn't most important; what you can do next is. Think carefully about buying expectations and selling facts in the capital market. This game has three stages. First, doing. Those who know how to do things become employees. You're struggling with how to finish tasks single-handedly through overtime. Second, knowing how to do. Those who know how to do things become supervisors. You've learned to take on responsibilities, breaking complex tasks into simple ones, managing time and manpower. Third, knowing what to do. Those who know what to do become bosses.
