Are you prepared for the exam?
Are you prepared for the race?
Are you prepared for the competition?
How many times have we, or do we hear this throughout our lives? Yet how many times do we confidently say 'yessss, we are prepared'?
Truth be told, we are never fully prepared. We can never be. Life is unexpected, and even so you think you are fully prepared, something, somewhere will pop up in the last minute and walaaa you are caught offguard. So what's my point?
Because we can never fully be prepared for something, the skill of thinking on the spot, and spontaneity is not a gift, but a crucial skill for survival.
More spontaneous and quick-minded people succeed, compared to those who spend sooo much time preparing. Dont blame them, or be envious. they probably spent time preparing the skill of quick-wit, or spontaneity compared to preparing materials. Of course, it would be good to have the best of both worlds, but many a time we can't, and hence need to prioritize.
Marathoners are given a tag to write encouragement words for the back of your shirt. next year, mine will be 'didn't train? so didn't 80% of us. JUST RUN, DAMN IT!'
