Plan backwards as well as forward. Set objectives and trace back to see how to achieve them. You may find that no path can get you there. Plan forward to see where your steps will take you, which may not be clear or intuitive.

  • -- Donald Rumsfeld 唐纳德·拉姆斯菲尔德

既要向前计划,也要向后计划。设定目标,并追溯过去,看看如何实现它们。你可能会发现没有一条路能把你带到那里。提前计划,看看你的步骤会把你带到哪里,这可能不是清晰或直观的。
