Antelope vs. Field Mice

Quote of the Week In honor of May 4th… "Do or do not… there is no try" - Yoda

Article of the week https://simonpaulsutton.medium.com/am-i-hunting-antelope-or-field-mice-6dad5c764020 The article explores the concept of focusing on big goals versus small tasks in achieving success. The author uses the analogy of hunting antelopes versus field mice, where antelopes represent big goals and field mice represent small tasks. The author argues that while field mice may be easier to catch and provide immediate gratification, hunting antelopes is more fulfilling and leads to greater success in the long run. I love this analogy because I see so many people "hunting field mice" and then at the end of the year wondering what they accomplished. If we want to achieve something big, and look back on our year, career, life, etc. we need to step out of our comfortable zone and hunt antelopes. The reward is just so much greater.
