"Quickly, quickly" - Mantra of an Industrialist to accomplish more

Many years ago, I had read a story of a Pune based industrialist.

He attributed his success to Mantra "Quickly, Quickly."

He believed that whatever he was supposed to do, he was supposed to do it quickly quickly.

I have not yet tested this mantra. But it seems to make sense.

Cricketers are supposed to score quickly. They cannot afford to lose even a single run.

In his later life, Vijay Merchant, great cricketer was doing lot of social service. Once I had occasion to see him at work. He was supported by four stenographers who were quickly taking notes of answers he was giving to a pile of letters.

Famous author Earl Stanly Gardner, creator of Parry Mason, character, used to dictate his novels to four stenos. Later he was also holding a word record for writing maximum novels in a year.

This mantra called "Quickly, quickly" must be working good for many.
