Implementation is everything, and objectives mean nothing unless they are transformed into action. Your fortune, however difficult to achieve, is there. The trick is to recognize it. It comes sporadically and in forms disguised. But most of all, it comes to you in opportunities that are few and far between, sandwiched within an infinity of plausible futures. We look at the chance and see only the present. You must observe the opportunity and see the seeds of the future. If you are to succeed, waiting for ideal conditions or a situation is rarely an option. Excellent opportunities never last long and usually require a change in your thinking and actions. Often, you have just one chance, and if you do not take advantage of that moment in time, the possibility is forever lost. I think that the world is bruised and bleeding, but we have to refuse to capitulate to the aggressive apathy and incompetence that permeates our society. Instead, we have to take action and persevere in making our own luck and healing civilization. Satoru
