Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Indecisiveness wears a person out.
You have to be decisive. Indecisiveness is a startup killer.
I'm not an intimate of Donald Trump, but I have great instincts about people, and I have fairly good skill at sizing people up, and it's not phony. You can tell when somebody's talking to you and not really hearing you. I've been around powerful people ask me what I think about things, and I can tell they're not really listening. They just asked, to ask, try to score points that way. Trump listens. But you don't get the impression that he's listening from a position of indecisiveness, indecision or confusion. I've never met anybody with the energy this guy's got, either.
In the end, I think, the state's rigidity is a function of its own insecurity, its indecisiveness.
