    Summary:
    1. Challenge the constraints to think big and think differently-
    2. Embrace the pre-mortem to mitigate the potential mistakes and better formulate correct course of action
    3. Check the basics- ensure that small details don't prevent us from accomplishing amazing things.

      Actually, step 2 was to contemplate "what failure looks like" only after you've thought about "what success looks like," or, for each possible success path to think about what failure for it may look like.

    1- تحدى القيود .
    حدد القيود التي تواجهك و تمنعك من أتخاذ قرارك .
    2- تقبل "مرحلة ما قبل الموت ".
    تخيل و حلل الأخطاء التي ممكن أن تقع فيها بعد ما تتخذ قرارك و أعطها حلاً .
    3- تأكد من الأساسيات .
    بعض المرات حينما تتخذ القرار أنت تركز على التفاصيل المعقدة وتنسى التفاصيل الاساسيه الصغيره , يجب أن تعطي كل تفاصيل المشكله نفس الإهتمام .

    Challenge the constraints.
    Challenge the $5 in the envelope.
    Constraints prevent innovate ideas from ever developing.
    Which allow you to think big and think different.
    What barriers are hold you back.
    Start there and see what’s holding you back.
    Invest the time upfront, how an idea you are considering could end in failure.
    To mitigate mistakes and correct for better corse of action.
    Check the basics.
    Don’t let small details be the downfall.
    Check all the simple tasks.
    Don’t let basic things, prevent amazing things.

    Remember sustainability...in theory a strategy can look good, but in practice we will always hit bumps we have to tweak as we go along, course correction....a lot of theoretical ideas are great places to start from, but there will always be practical parts of the equation that are missing and means that the original plan is not sustainable for the length of time it was intended form. This is because of what he said, that there are factors beyond our control. We aren't even in control of our own selves because our environment and things we are subjected to affects us. Grow a strategy based on succession- doing what can be done in the moment with the resources available..go in a direction as an experiment, then reassess and change as needed

    I do find it ridiculous, when they set 'rules' and yes constraints should be challenged but surely also not entirely dismissed in such circumstances as this? It's like that example of the challenge to throw a paper airplane the longest distance, and someone screwed up the paper and threw it. That's not clever, the contest was to throw a paper plane and not a piece of rubbish. The main problem with our society in this respect is that people are not listened to when they present new ideas.

    What is Just Do It?
    The idea that action trumps theory by a huge margin. Thinking, talking, and planning are good, but the greatest point of leverage for getting results is just doing it.
    Why is it Important?
    Without action you will not get any results. The reason you don't have what you want is probably because you aren't taking enough action.
