DON'T Wait For The Game To Come

DON'T Wait For The Game To Come

Oh, this is our perennial problem.  We always [wrongly] thought that, having nothing on our plate yet means 'WE JUST SEE HOW LAH' [as the Singaporean slang says].  Sometimes we're even ill-advised that to be prepared in life means waiting for things to come, for a trigger to ignite, for an event to kickstart the next flurry of tasks.  BUT hey, just DON'T Wait For The Game To Come.

That is not the correct equation in life.  Passiveness and being laidback are, in fact, the ingredients that chart your path towards FAILURE, yes that's BOLD and in upper case. It's because failures are NOT pre-plotted across the fields the way the land mines are 'planted' by opposing troops in a state of war.  Just DON'T Wait For The Game To Come.

Are you IN for a 'waiting game'.  No sirrrs, not even in the game of Ahedres [Chess].  Many times I've watched chess combatants spending thirty minutes [or even more] before pushing for the next move.  And initially I was befuddled as to what the 'hell is going on'.  Not until I came to that realization that these players DON'T Wait For The Game To Come but instead, they're bringing things on.

Let's call a spade a spade now.  I've witnessed some folks out of job and guess what keeps them busy?  Their common denominator?  They're waiting and hoping that a friend or a friend of a friend or a relative of a friend of a neighbor's friend will ring them up and toss a job offer served with a platter.  Guess how and where are they now?  Till now, they haven't lost hope that that call will happen.  Pitiful state indeed. 

hey, why can't we have our LADDERS 24x7 so that when nothing surfaces for us to grab, we go and climb up that LADDER and search for the good tidings we have been fervently hoping for?  Can you imagine if we DON'T Wait For The Game To Come but instead, it is us lurking around, searching with both PATIENCE + PERSISTENCE + PERSEVERANCE until we end up with that 'pot of gold' in life?  BTW, even 'pots of gold' are not like sitting ducks.  You got to unearth them beneath the surface.  You got to shovel it.  DON'T Wait For The Game To Come❗❗❗
