Pawan The 3-year rule is golden and peolpe wiser than me have convinced me that there are absolutely no workarounds. I personally do not like thinking in terms of short-term sales and profits, but more in terms of long term value. Thinking of cash flow distracts you from the long term vision, it makes you do things that doesn't add a dime to the end goal. Valuation doesn't have to mean what the company could sell for today, it could mean what it'd be worth after 5 years.

Adrianaa Thanks for this interesting atilcre. As a teacher, I spend a lot of time thinking about and observing the dynamics of learning, and learnings important correspondent resistance to learning. My experience has been that people generally commit to learning what they feel a sort-term emotional reward and predict a long-term emotional benefit from doing so. What passes for long-term differs by situation and individual. When I first arrived in Hanoi, for example, I gobbled up that difficult language with a passion and an optimistic sense that I would be using it and that it would help me. Importantly, I had an emotional connection to it a sense that emotional rewards awaited me. And indeed there were some short-term gains. Other expats saw no benefit beyond simply getting through practical situations with greater ease. When I became disenchanted with Hanoi, I disconnected from it emotionally, and my vocabulary scattered to the four winds. Thanks again for this thoughtful atilcre.
