john commented on the word stockdale paradox
Admiral James Stockdale, describing how he survived seven years as a POW in Vietnam, in Jim Colins' book Good to Great, as quoted in The New York Times:
“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end — which you can never afford to lose — with discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.�?
