The Hour of the Rat

Success comes from confidently making decisions and acting on them. It’s a good formula to follow. But every now and then, you’re going to experience the hour of the rat, when something you’ve done (or not done) just keeps gnawing at you…

Unfortunately, there can be a lot of rewards and payback for being a victim.
