“Nothing focuses attention like a real deadline. If you are in a field where life and death, or having a job or not having a job, depends on not missing deadlines, you need to learn to manipulate yourself to meet them; often a good way of doing this is teaming up with non-procrastinators.” IfsWayNeedsRealJobsAttentionMissingFieldsDependsLife And DeathManipulateGood WayDeadlineProcrastinatorTeaming Up Author:John Perry
“Some field days can be tough. I've worked inside fuel tanks with 3 foot ceilings, in -42 to +42 Celsius temperatures, in snow and smoke and hail, and I've dug through snow and ice and pavement to find legal evidence. I've worked clear through the night by headlamp, and I've flown in a rickety long-islander with propane tanks strapped into the other seats. I've jury-rigged missing equipment, broken into my own truck, and cut out an emergency helicopter pad with a machete. I've been hungry, cold, tired, lost, injured, and downright hopeless!” LongNightLostMy OwnClearCuttingFeetMissingFieldsBrokenColdEvidenceToughTiredHungrySnowIceSmokeSeatsFuelHopelessEquipmentEmergenciesTruckTemperatureInjuredTanksCeilingsJuryHailPadsPavementHelicoptersRiggedMachetesPropane Author:Mark Mason

“Gary Berntsen, head of the CIA in Afghanistan there, he was a field commander. And he has a book out called "Jawbreaker." And he says we missed an opportunity at Tora Bora to get him. We put resources elsewhere. That's been a critique of the administration. Did we miss opportunities?” BookOpportunityMissingFieldsResourcesAdministrationAfghanistanElsewhereCommandersCiaCritiqueGaryMissing Opportunity Author:Alan Colmes
“Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out. You're curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you're waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.” PeopleIfsThinkingLifeLooksHardMotivationalRememberTurnsChoicesWaitingInterestingKnowingPlansDoorsGroupsMissingFieldsAdventureHard WorkFutureSmartStrangerTinyPlanningCuriousBoredMaking UpWrong TurnSlackingAlways KnowingCourageous Choices Author:Randall Munroe
“Autobiography, if there really is such a thing, is like asking a rabbit to tell us what he looks like hopping through the grasses of the field. How would he know? If we want to hear about the field on the other hand, no one is in a better circumstance to tell us-so long as we keep in mind that we are missing all those things the rabbit was in no position to observe.” IfsKnowsWantMindLooksLongHandsMissingFieldsPositionCircumstancesAskingGrassAutobiographyRabbitsHopping Author:Arthur Golden
