Assiduous

When one does a setup,
What is the first thing one must do?

'Observe, study and plan.'

Okay.
But I would think...
The first thing one must do,
Is to remain true to onself.
Prepared to face any dilemma.
And then proceed.
Most times...
The setting up of something,
Takes years in the making.
And requires patience, discipline and diligence.

'That's why I said...
Observe, study and plan.'

With an application of assiduity.
Being one who is assiduous.

'We could have left the name calling out of this.
But if you want to stoop to those levels...
I can hang, you know? '

Study and plan 'before' you setup.
Comprehend with understand first!
Dissect and listen.
Then research.
