Keep Playing Until The Wheel Falls Off
Who says we just need to keep moving but be watchful of the wheels? Of course we have to BUT just Keep Playing Until The Wheel Falls Off, that's the mantra we need to embrace in life. Unfortunately, many of us [and I'm guilty of it several times in the past] are so captivated by perfection and idealism such that before we take the next step, we would wish that the next step we'll take is an almost zero low risk with the lowest probability of failure entailing the least effort and/or resources. BUT life wasn't meant to be that way๐๐๐It's perfectly nice to be ideal but to reach that ideal point may need you to take a donkey years more whereas if you go for what is reasonably acceptable, you can then start grabbing those low hanging fruits. Heard of someone who wants to enroll in an Ivy League School, stretching his patience to wait and wait till he hurdles all the pre-requisites BUT after many years passed, he's there stuck and stalled ⏳⏳⏳
As this cute poster says, "DON'T WAIT FOR THE PERFECT MOMENT. TAKE THE MOMENT AND MAKE IT PERFECT". Exactly, you got to grab the bull by its horns [and NOT the other way around]. By buying and biding your time, you then get that window to go for perfection๐๐๐
You could be the 'odd man out' when no one quits except yourself but if it's the other way around, when everyone else quit and you're the LAST MAN STANDING, then you are perfectly fine, you're on the right track. In my not so distant past, I had batch mates, we're like in the open track and field, ready for the firing gun. Regrettably though, a good number of my batch mates felt it was NOT yet their time to go 'ALL OUT' in their relentless pursuit of their goals. Some did quit even before the race started whilst some did quit a quarter of the way and some just got waylaid halfway through๐๐๐
Lesson here is that NEVER GIVE UP IN LIFE, even if you're battered and bruised, black and blue. As long as you're ALIVE & KICKING, some of your wheels are still serviceable so the only recourse is to keep going because eventually you will get your second wind. It's always a win-win for you to Keep Playing Until The Wheel Falls Off✅✅✅
