Safe Harbour On Both Sides

And while a person has control over himself, he has no control over the world around him. So, the only way to succeed is this: While planning your life, always factor in the conditions of the world around you. If you are strong enough to walk on land, don’t jump into the ocean. True success lies not in fighting against circumstances— but in finding harmony with them. Although many believe that fighting against the odds is the path to greatness, wisdom lies in adapting and moving forward with insight. The Importance of Perseverance A big businessman once said, “Changing your business again and again is like setting fire to your own business with your own hands.” When a person keeps switching from one business to another, they cut themselves off from their own history. And when someone disconnects from their own history, what will remain as their real asset? Business is not like a job where you work for a month and receive your salary at the beginning of the next. Business is like a tree—it gives fruit only after years of care and growth. Now, imagine someone plants a tree, and after a year, cuts it down to plant another. Then does the same again the next year, and continues like this for twenty-five years.
