Prepare for the Unknown
The inhibitions of a man have no place in our world. Instinct is everything; it has to be, without it there is nothing. A keen sense and awareness of all that surrounds us, this is a must. Observe the out of place.
Make no mistake, mistakes will be made, though bare in mind, a careless mistake may be the last mistake made.
Along the road we travel luck has its place. However, those who depend on it whole heartedly will at some point fail; for never is luck always good. There is a fifty percent chance of it being bad. In our world luck is enhanced by our actions or inactions, count on it.
Positive thinking, even amid an establishment which in many ways appears totally against you, is a definite plus, though at times next to impossible to achieve. The luxury of a system where you’re not dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t is virtually non existent. Accept this as fact. Do not try to change this. Any attempt to do so will consume you.
Know that all circumstances which are encountered are designed by people or environment. Thus each circumstance is as different as that which created it.
In every persons life there are many places to which they belong. A person can only belong to one place at a time. When you walk in our world, walk there only. If you attempt to travel in other worlds, while in ours, you will certainly stumble and fall.
Consider those who walk in the same world with you. Even the most intolerable depend on you. If you fall, surely the chances of those who rely on you, falling with you, are better than average. In the same vein, seek to learn as much as possible about those who walk with you. Know their weaknesses, as they should know yours. Yes, you have weaknesses. Everyone does, this is human. Yet even more than weaknesses, search out every strength possible. All that there is may depend on know them.
There can be no good come from dwelling on a person’s lesser points. If all you seek to find are faults, then faults will be all you discover. In most people there is some worth, some strength, some good.
Wisely a person should know their own limitations, so as not to over extend ones self. Confidence is a virtue, but know too, that over confidence can be deadly; to you, and those like you.
Never accept things as they seem at merely a glance. Consider all things for what they truly are. For as much as the cat’s paw appears soft and harmless, the lethal claw lies within, out of sight, ready to draw blood at the blink of an eye. The things most dangerous are the things unseen. Therefore, approach all things with respect, and from every angle, be ready to meet with the unknown.
