I always say — “embrace uncertainty” if you don’t it will more than likely embrace you — but when you least expect it. I think we have tricked ourselves into beleiving that we are in control of our own destiny — The reality is we are on a big rock hurtling 100k mph through space. uncertainty like change is the only constant. So I guess you change or you die.
…and uncertainty brings fear of failure…and fear of failure is Evolution´s bottleneck.
Is it just my perception or little by little we are getting closer to being able to embrace the chaos and dealing with it? Richard, everyday I read more and more people proposing these ideas and I think the blogosphere is helping to spread the virus. I believe we´re like a train feeling the bumps of changing from an old rail to a new one, but still moving forward.
What do you think?
Why so much seriousness? When life give you glorious sex sweat, just carry an extra towel, for pete’s sake!
