Miswanting occurs when we discover that what we wanted did not make us happy.

Successful people have a glaring tendency to overcommit.

Successful people hate being wrong even more than they like being right. This can easily turn into paralysis…

You can monetize the punishment and end the problem. Or you can monetize the result and create a solution. Either way, it works.
