NEVER Explain Yourself Twice | Napoleon Hill

A man answers a question once. That is a statement. When he answers it again, better, softer, with more detail, he has told the room his decision is still open. Everyone hears the second answer for what it is, and everyone adjusts. This is about the moment you hand over authority you were never asked to give, what it costs across a year of mornings, and how to close a decision without becoming cold. Napoleon Hill spent his working life around men who had built things that lasted. What he kept returning to was a definite aim, held so clearly that it did not require a second opinion to stay in place.
