Will you run or walk?
The truth about going through tough times.
The other night I was eating a small snack before bed.
It was around 8pm, so I decided to eat a peanut butter sandwich with a cucumber spinach wrap to help me sleep faster when bedtime came.
Halfway through eating, I called my father to catch up.
We talked about life, business & the internship I had taken up. It lasted for a bit & once I had finished I finished off my snack.
Now, as I was putting away my tray & went to the door to leave the cafe.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
It was downpouring like crazy! It was almost as if there was a category 1 hurricane forming outside.
After seeing the monstrosity outside.
I went to the other side of the cafe exit which was closer to my dormitory.
So, I stepped out the door. Took a moment to prepare myself for the downpour I was about to walk into.
And instead of running, I just walked.
Everybody else around me was panicking. They were full-on sprinting through the rain.
But instead of following the crowd, I walked through it slow & controlled.
Why?
You're going to get drenched either way. Whether you sprint, jog or walk. You'll still get drenched.
So why not take the full hit & immerse yourself?
That's what I did & I eventually made it back to my dorm.
Safe & soaked.
Anyways, why am I telling you this? Let’s take a look at what I mentioned above.
Everybody around me was panicking through the rain. Whilst, I stayed calm & walked.
What does that tell you about business/economics?
You can’t afford to panic along with everyone else in tough moments. You’ll waste more energy panicking than figuring out a solution.
You need to develop mental fortitude to withstand those tough moments.
Anyways, that's all for me.
Until next time,
