“The Future does not belong to the faint hearted,
It belongs to the Brave.”
Ronald Reagan, US President, upon the explosion of Challenger Space Shuttle resulting in the death of 7 Astronauts.
Much as we think and plan, a lot in life goes haywire. Actually, when plans meet reality, reality always wins!
In affairs of the family, if you want to have a child of a particular sex (idiotic as it may sound), God may decide otherwise. You buy property thinking that you have made the best investment which cannot fail, and then the U.S. of A collapses bringing the whole world down with it.
In work too, our careers may not take the exact course that we have dreamt or planned of. Rarely do things move and progress exactly as we hoped they would.
Once and IF they do (move exactly as we thought), we promptly claim that we are smart, intelligent and unbeatable. A fatal mistake sirs and madams!
Nothing could be further from the truth. The really smart people know that to claim smartness based on a single success is stupidity! In fact, to claim smartness is ALWAYS stupidity.
Yet, we have to move on. Whenever we try anything or pursue anything worth pursuing, chances of failure exist. If we shy from the risk, we won’t achieve anything worth achieving. Nothing risked, nothing gained.
The world may belong to the meek, but the future belongs to the Brave. Use your guts! Be Brave!
