Just Start
Overview
“Act, Learn, Build, so you can Act again” is the best and most important course of action when facing the uncertain.”
-Schlesinger Leonard A.
Despite the fact that Future is the most complex, unpredictable and uncertain thing in the world, we invest all of our resources to know & prepare about it but after that in most of the cases we failed as per our previous plans so what we get from the discussions here is that this isn’t something you can call a static, this future is a kind of dynamic thing for which you have to be dynamic in all sorts to cop up with it.
Connecting Future with JUST START
Another approach is that rather than doing planning or predictions based on its history and calculating risk, what if we just start now or take an initiative now which actually sounds like an immature thing but most practices showed a brilliant result over the past years.
“Anything worth doing is worth doing now!”
— Ralph Stayer
What Does It Means?
First of all, we have to understand what does it means and how does this concept work and how you can make a use of it in daily life. It exemplifies a sense of self-drive, self-awareness and personal stimulation. In other words, it is the ability to see something that needs to be done and stepping up to do it. It is a revolutionary habit that can help you to stand out in any situation whether you are alone or with a team but it could be worse if you constantly wait to be told what to do, then you waited too long.
“Stop waiting for somebody to elevate your game. You are already equipped with everything you need to manifest your own greatness. ”
― Germany Kent
