As a younger man, I was once preparing for the NDA SSB interview. There used to be something called Word Association Test in that. So they would give a word and you would have to make a sentence using that word. So the tip that we were given was that leaders do not make complex, convoluted or negative sounding sentences. So if the word is Grass. Then your sentence should be - Grass is green. Instead if you write this:

Gramineae is a large and nearly ubiquitous family of  monocotyledonous flowering plants, commonly referred to collectively as grass.

You are likely to be rejected :)

So any amount of over-analyses will probably lead you to rethink your decision. That's why the Ancient Romans used to burn bridges and boats. That was a good way to avoid intellectual thinking which could lead to retreat. 

Khuda Gawah was another mind numbing film of Amitabh Bachchan but with great visuals. It features this great Amitabh line:

"Khudaa Bakshe, itnaa mat soch. soch gehri ho jaaye. to faisle kamzor ho jaate hain"

"ख़ुदा बख्शे, इतना मत सोच. सोच गहरी जाए, फ़ैसले कमज़ोर  हो जाते हैं"

Or as Modi tells Tata in the movie Narendra Modi:

"Tata saab, jo decision ek minute mein nahin hotaa, vo decision hi nahin hotaa". :)
