NotitiesDvekut Na Mesima
Steven Pressfield
De tekst gaat over de uitdagingen van het schrijven en het voltooien van projecten. De auteur, Steven Pressfield, verwijst naar Giora's principe van dvekut ba mesima, wat betekent dat je "geplakt aan de missie" moet blijven om deze tot een goed einde te brengen. Hij benadrukt het belang van vastberadenheid en toewijding aan de missie.
When I first started writing, I could never complete anything. I would get to the finish line and choke. I’d quit. I’d blow the project up. It took me years to face down these demons of self-destruction. I wish I had known then Giora’s principle of dvekut ba mesima. I certainly think about it now before I start any new book, article, creative project, anything. I set my mind at the start just the way Giora would before taking off in his Mirage IIIC or his F-4 Phantom. Mesima is the mission. Dvekut is” glued to.” The mission is everything. At all costs it must be carried through to completion.
