Charlie Munger on destroying your best loved ideas...
Via Whitney Tilson’s notes from the 2006 Wesco Annual Meeting:
The ability to destroy your ideas rapidly instead of slowly when the occasion is right is one of the most valuable things. You have to work hard on it.

This is a great mental discipline.
