The success of a mission depends on the fact that it gets a team of prepared, proactive and mature people. Without such a prepared team, no mission can succeed. There must be two qualities among the members of this team. One is that every person of the team should be obedient. He should obey what is said to him. He should not make excuses, whether it is a personal excuse or an external excuse. The second attribute is that the members of this team should be mentally so mature that they are able to know what they need to do without being told to. They should understand the situation without someone telling them about it. The importance of this second attribute is that there are many things that cannot be said. When the mission expands and new requirements emerge, it becomes impossible to tell people all the necessary things. In such a time, the only practical thing is that a man himself understands the depth of things with his own intellect, and he himself can take necessary steps according to it at every opportunity. No other attribute can replace this attribute of mental maturity and readiness. o Grow through what you go through.
