I am not a five-year-plan type. I tend to put one foot in front of the other and to allow things to unfold.
Americans are so direct. They'd ask me, 'What's your five-year plan? Do you have a five-year plan?' I don't know what I'm having for my tea tonight let alone a five-year plan.
If I have any attribute that serves me well, it's I don't have a long-range plan in life. I have no idea. I just don't look ahead, I really don't. You know when people get out of college and they're talking about their five-year plan. Five-year plan? I got a plan to get to Friday.
I think three-to-five years ahead minimum. I have a short-term plan, a five-year plan and a decade plan.
Put one foot in front of the other, focus on the little goal right in front of you, and almost anything is possible.
When we go out to the university, the professors always say, 'Tell these students about your five-year plan and your 10-year plan,' and I say, 'Gee, we're lucky if we have a year plan.'
You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.
I'm competitive with myself, and that goes hand in hand with how I present myself. I'm not only trying to put one foot in front of the other, I'm trying to put my best foot forward.
Just put one foot in front of the other.
I have lived enough to know great things will unfold for me externally only if I allow them to unfold for me internally.
I don't really have a three-year plan or a five-year plan. I don't know what's next, and that's what I find quite exciting. I dig it.
I have to say, I've never been the girl that's had the five-year plan, the 10-year plan, and I'm still not.
I've never been the girl that's had the five-year plan, the 10-year plan and I'm still not.
All I really knew how to do was put one foot in front of the other.
I've never been someone that's had a five-year plan, or a three-year plan. That just seems to lead to a lot of disappointment, and doesn't give you the chance to be flexible.
You lay out a plan and - say a three-year plan or a two-year plan - and say, 'This is what we can do. We can do the transportation packages, like the highway bill and the water bill, and we can do some of these other areas - a farm bill - whatever it is, we lay out a schedule, and we put that committee to work to do that.'
Put one dumb foot in front of the other and course-correct as you go.
