HIMYM Quote

I thought this was a relevant quote on the challenges of planning, success, business, and self-motivation.

From an episode ("Mosbius Designs") of How I Met Your Mother:

Ted:

What if I don't think of the books?

There's this famous architecture story about this architect who designed this library. It was perfect, but every year the whole thing would sink a couple of inches into the ground.

Eventually, the building was condemned. He forgot to account for the weight of the books...

...By 30, I was going to be annoyingly successful, married to the perfect woman; maybe a kid on the way.

Instead, I'm just some guy sitting in an apartment having a staring contest with his phone and losing.
