Real world experience
Fully prepare yourself, make the best of plans, and take the
most effective actions. Then, accept whatever happens, learn
from it, and adjust your approach accordingly.
Sometimes things will go exactly as you have planned, and
yet many times they will not. So what is your best option
when plans go awry?
There is nothing to be gained by becoming bitter, depressed,
angry or immobilized by frustration. Instead, realize that
you have just made a sizeable investment of your time and
resources, and have received from that investment something
of real value.
You have learned firsthand a little more about what does and
what does not work. You have gained valuable, real world
experience, and because of that you are in an excellent
place from which to move forward.
Will you squander that valuable experience on feeling sorry
for yourself? Or will you pick yourself up, adapt and
adjust, and move enthusiastically ahead?
When plans go awry, it's not the end of your world. In fact,
if you choose, it can be the beginning of your real
success.
