Look Ahead Quote by Haruki Murakami
““As I mentioned, Mr Nakata, in everything there's a proper order," Johnnie Walker said."You can't look to far ahead. Do that and you'll lose sight of what you're doing and stumble. I'm not saying you should focus solely on the details right in front of you, mind you. You've got to look ahead a bit or else you'll bump on something. You've got to conform to the proper order and at the same time keep an eye out for what's ahead.That's critical, no matter what you're doing.””
