Thank you Sir, I enjoyed reading that essay....ADM,<br /><br />Thank you Sir, I enjoyed reading that essay. <br /><br />He is also coined in "How The Mighty Fall", by Jim Collins. Listed under "Stage 2: Disciplined Thought" -Confront the Brutal Facts – The Stockdale Paradox: Retain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.<br /><br />Again, sound and sage advice from a wise and legendary leader!
