"Selama beberapa menit pertama saat lepas landas, para astronot dikontrol dengan ketat dan diterpa kekuatan alam yang berjuang untuk mempertahankannya di bumi. Ini agak sebanding dengan tarikan daging ketika alarm kita berbunyi di pagi hari. Kecuali jika kita menaruh "pikiran di atas kasur" dan melaksanakan tekad yang dibuat malam sebelumnya, kita akan mengalami kekalahan pertama kita hari itu. Tidak cukup untuk menyelesaikan. Misi dibatalkan."

--- Stephen Covey

Versi Bahasa Inggris

During the first few minutes in lift-off, the astronauts were strictly controlled and were powerfully buffeted by the forces of nature struggling to keep them on earth. This is somewhat comparable to the pull of the flesh when our alarm goes off early in the morning. Unless we put "mind over mattress" and carry out the resolves made the night before, we will experience our first defeat that day. Not sufficient to finish. Mission aborted.
