If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.
Greene's L28 is the style doctrine of entrepreneurism. The clean version: bet on boldness where the downside is recoverable, avoid it where the downside is final. Operators who default to boldness amplify it; operators who default to caution attenuate it. The Naval pairing: judgment is the bottleneck — judge whether to be bold before the move, then commit fully.
Hesitation reveals uncertainty about the move's quality; boldness covers it. Also covers the operator's asymmetry: bold-correctable moves are categorically better than timid-irreversible ones.
