I'm not a fan of five-year plans, or any x-year plans, but this sounds very passive - in the sense of 'happened to me'. Which sounds out of place in the context of the other advice <sic> provided - such as 'work Saturdays to guarantee success', 'make a choice and stick to it and make it great', 'it's safer to keep working than walk to your car', and the Alibaba question dodge. Clearly we live in different worlds.
