We live in a changing world where information and technology changes so fast that we can hardly keep up with the pace. As a matter of fact, the only constant thing is change itself. The things that were considered trendy some few years ago are now obsolete and without any real value.
As I interact with many people I realize that we are looking for values that are unchanging, that will stabilize us in this current tough world. I believe there are some universal truths that determine success in life and it would be imperative to consider them.
Being swift and fast will not necessarily guarantee that you will win in the race of life; neither is life’s battle won by the strongest. In fact, wealth and success is not definite to the most brilliant and skill in itself is not the surest way to fame and fortune. These attributes are good but the truth is that they are not enough.
Success in life belongs to those that are prepared. Someone once said, “Life will always give you opportunities but what you do with the opportunities will determine your destiny.” We must always be aware that these opportunities have a life span and they are not there to stay.
How then will you get prepared? First, we need to have keen insight and recognize when opportunities come along. We must always be ready to make calculated risks through analyzing all facts both negative and positive.
The future belongs to the bold and smart thinkers. Therefore, we need to utilize every opportunity that life presents to us. A good decision is a bad decision when it is made at the wrong time.
