Flying Into Headwinds By Brian Tracy
When you set off toward a new destination or goal, like taking off in an airplane, you will have an idea of both your departure time and your arrival time. You will set a schedule for yourself and expect to arrive pretty much on schedule. But as soon as you take off, you will experience what pilots call “unexpected headwinds.”
The situation in your life is similar. As soon as you embark on a new journey, you will experience headwinds as well: everything will cost twice as much and take three times longer than you anticipated. You should estimate how long you will take to achieve certain milestones and then triple that time to get the actual time period required.
Bad things happen to good people. It’s not fair, but it’s true. Other than the fact that it was beautifully written, I think the reason 
struck such a chord (and was such a huge international bestseller) is that we can all relate to the title.
