“Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are ‘just right’ before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we have, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, travelled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don’t know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.” - William Feather
Now, isn’t that the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Conditions are never ‘just right.’ We have to take calculated risk. Getting started, or going ahead with your plans doesn’t mean going into it blindly. If you have set your mind on something, plan for it. Know what you are getting yourself into. Weigh the risk, the rewards, the pros and cons. Ask yourself, what is the worse that could happen if your plan fails. Can you afford that to happen to you? Are you prepared for the worse? Yes, we hope for the best, but we must be prepared for the worst. We always have to be prepared for the worse. When you have thought it through, then do not wait. Take the plunge. Get Started.
