It it ridiculously easy for me to say "NO" to anything external, like food, girls, money, good grades etc. I am very very self-restrained. Hence why I am little unsympathetic towards people who can't do this.

But, I have more difficulty saying "YES", which is why I have deep empathy for people who "just can't get moving". So, if I was fat and trying to lose weight, I would say "NO" to food, rather than eat and say "YES" to exercise.
Do you think it would be more effective to receive advice from someone who had the same weaknesses and strength that you have than from someone who has different?
If you do what you have always done, you will get the results you have always gotten.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
