奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
Napoleon laid great stress upon that "supreme moment," that "nick of time" which occurs in every battle, to take advantage of which means victory, and to lose in hesitation means disaster. He said that he beat the Austrians because they did not know the value of five minutes; and it has been said that among the trifles that conspired to defeat him at Waterloo, the loss of a few moments by himself and Grouchy on the fatal morning was the most significant. Blucher was on time, and Grouchy was late. It was enough to send Napoleon to St. Helena, and to change the destiny of millions.

白话
拿破仑特别看重每场战斗中那个“决定性瞬间”,抓住它就能赢,犹豫错过就会惨败。他说自己打败奥地利人,是因为对方不懂五分钟的价值。滑铁卢战役那个关键早晨,他和格鲁希耽误了几分钟,而布吕歇尔准时赶到,格鲁希却迟了,这几分钟足以把拿破仑送到圣赫勒拿岛,改变千万人的命运。核心是:关键时刻的几分钟,往往决定全局。做法是:平时就训练自己对时间的敏感,在重要节点上提前准备、果断行动,别让犹豫偷走胜利。
