Example of smart & fast
thinking:
Charles Schwab
"Along the way, I’ve frustrated
some of my associates because I
could see the end zone of a
particular thing
quicker than they could, so
I was moving ahead to
conclusions. I go straight from
step A to Z, and say: ‘This is
the outcome. I can see it.’"
~
Charles Schwab
