Make Your Case !

Make Your Case !

To make your case does NOT mean that you're facing the bar of justice.  You can be a student in school, so you need to MAKE YOUR CASE to excel academically.  You can be a worker, so you need to MAKE YOUR CASE to stand out at work.  You can MAKE YOUR CASE when you're angling for a promotion at work.  You can MAKE YOUR CASE if you are in a conflict.  Obviously, MAKE YOUR CASE if you are involved in a litigation.

BTW, it's NOT just to MAKE YOUR CASE.  You gotta make your BEST case !  Palliatives won't be enough.  You gotta make a turnaround and achieve the goal[s] and result[s] you're angling for.  More often than not, the very root cause of our shortfalls in life is NOT because you didn't MAKE YOUR CASE but rather it's because you didn't MAKE YOUR BEST CASE. 

Which leads us back to this very old cliche.  Nothing wrong really for us to aim for the moon because while surely you'll fail, definitely you'll hit above ground and likely way beyond the tree top. Amongst couples, you may want take one approach while your partner is pushing for a different approach.  Quick fix ?  Each of you should MAKE YOUR BEST CASE, whoever wins, prevails.

BTW, at the core of all these is CHANGE.  And this poster says it all: 'IF YOU CHANGE NOTHING, NOTHING WILL CHANGE'.  OMG, I can attest to this a zillion times.  I have seen people who are passive and laidback, literally idle in his couch, waiting for the fruit to 'drop from the tree straight' down to him.  Year after, years after, what changed in that person ?  Nil, Nada, Nothing.

What's the magic word then ?  It's APPROACH no less.  Our APPROACH in life is at the very core as you run the course.  DON'T blame the economy.  DON'T point at global warming.  DON'T pass the buck to this pandemic.  DON'T put the blame to that mean teacher or to that tough boss because 'the buck stops on you', period.  What makes things smooth for a plane's landing at the runway, it's the APPROACH, period.❗❗❗
