SUCCESS COMES THROUGH CALCULATED RISKS & WISE SHORT CUTS. HUGE SUCCESS COMES THROUGH PRECISION.
The shortest possible distance between two things is always a straight line. Apply this law of physics to real life, to business and profession. It's still the same principle. Short cuts ain't bad. Provided you choose to walk the path of truth, integrity and diligence. Now compare this to the words of Lord Krishna in Gita. The end should justify the means.

When it comes to integrity, honesty and spirit of hard work, look at the Parsis. Blunt, direct and truthful in daily life and money matters. No wonder they are the pioneers of industrial revolution in India. Despite being a small community which is dwindling in numbers, it is still the most admirable example of straightforwardness, simplicity, business acumen and an amazing sense of humour.
THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TO POINTS IS A STRAIGHT LINE. SO KEEP IT SIMPLE SILLY. WHY WASTE TIME MEANDERING AND GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES. COME STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. HIT THE BULL'S EYE.
Shortcuts are never bad. After all the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. It's the route you choose. Reminds me it's the choices we make that determines our future. To reach the destination at the fastest possible pace, you need an adroit consultant, or an advisor, who takes you there. As the say, if you want early success, go to the pioneer and an original thinker. By having hustled, tried and by doing the job more than others even attempted. One becomes a master. One never became deft by sitting idle but by constant experimentation, meticulous study of the subject, review and analysis of past decisions and correction of the present ones, for a fantastic future. Yes it's hard in the beginning. But ones you've mastered something you, become a pro. And then decision making becomes a cakewalk, it's very fast, precise and a guaranteed success.
