Jocko Willink: 我认为建立自信最深刻的方法之一是接受自己不确定该做什么。如果承认自己不知道，世界会变得更简单。假装自信是有问题的，没有人知道一切，也没有人能做出完美的决定。快速获得自信的好方法是承认自己不了解一切，并接受这一点。谦逊能让你更自信，军队中的经历让你认识到，即使你领导着比你更有经验的人，也没关系。承认自己的不足，反而能赢得尊重。谦虚会让你更自信。缺乏自信源于将自己的专业水平定位得高于实际水平。降低期望值可以减轻压力，提高表现。如果你需要表现，你需要非常谦虚。在行动前要谦虚，行动时要自信。训练和准备是谦虚的表现，但在执行时需要自信。如何避免谦逊变成自我怀疑？像进入角色一样，通过特定动作切换到自信状态。伟人都是通过疯狂的练习，在比赛时充满自信。行动是克服恐惧的关键，采取行动能消除恐惧。行动是解决焦虑的良药，行动是解决各种问题的良药。立即行动，不要拖延。恐惧会随着行动而消失。恐惧只存在于事情开始之前。恐惧源于对未知的恐惧。思考越多，恐惧越强烈。你可以控制比你想象的更多。在战斗中，最可怕的是担心自己的战友受伤或死亡。最糟糕的事情因人而异。即使分享观点，也不能否定他人的感受。否认他人的感受是无效的沟通方式。 Chris: 我很好奇你如何看待在计划和执行之间切换？这是否可以同时进行，或者是否需要先退一步，获得视角，然后再实际执行策略？在军队中，你如何处理恐惧？你对人们如何才能在生活中对自己的决定更有信心有什么建议？你认为自信从何而来？你如何看待谦逊与自信之间的关系？你如何避免谦逊变成自我怀疑？你对那些正在经历糟糕的月份或一系列糟糕的月份，并且看不到隧道尽头的人有什么建议？你如何看待纪律等于自由？你认为纪律是与生俱来的吗？是什么在从纪律的角度驱动着你？你如何看待在事情进展顺利时保持动力？你对那些在生活中感到迷茫的年轻人有什么建议？你如何看待战争的未来？你认为哪些原则仍然适用，哪些原则不再适用？
