At the bottom of page 87, I came across something Churchill told his private secretary Jack Colville:
"I try myself by court martial to see if I have done anything effective during the day. I don't mean just pawing the ground---anyone can go through the motions---but something really effective."
I don't really know why, but this quote really hit me like a ton of bricks. I believe its effect had something to do with my fear of the verdict of a court martial on far too many of my days.
I am going to post this on my wall at work tomorrow morning to remind myself of the importance of doing more than just pawing the ground each and every day.
