“A single step in the right direction is worth more than ten in the wrong direction.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from From Chaos to Order, chapter 4
In other words
Ten hard days spent going the wrong way leave you further from where you meant to be than one honest step would, and the walk back costs on top of that. Effort gets mistaken for progress because from the inside they feel identical. What separates them is foresight, a skill rather than a gift, built by watching which of your own decisions led where.
