Reality Check!

Your friend says Left. You say Right. You are heading Straight.
Situation : You are Lost.
Your schedule says 6:00. Your watch says 6:05.
Situation : You are Late

So, you are Lost and Late. You can :

1. Say, ‘Oh c’mon, I’m sure I can make it. After all the one who makes it is the one who thinks he can,’ and keep heading Left, Right, Right, alright no…Reverse, Straight (basically, Anywhere). Not to mention lose Time and waste Fuel(Energy)

2. Stop. Find out where you actually are. Ask someone the right way and proceed.

Choice 1 – Pep-talk = Action = No Result or = Result (too late)
Choice 2 – Reality Check = Action = Result

The choice is yours.



This, however is too insignificant an occurrence to consider. Probably all that you miss out on is the beginning of a movie or the first half of a lecture or few hours of partying.

Let’s talk about stuff that matters. That makes a difference. Let’s take the Event to be ‘ Cracking the CAT’.

Situation : You are Lost and Late. You don’t know where you are heading.

Now, what do you do?

You could boost your confidence, pep-talk and keep it going (of course, losing time and wasting energy).
After all, you can. And you might even just Crack it in ‘not so few’ years.

Or you could take a Reality Check. Stop. Find out where you actually are. Ask yourself, “Am I giving it everything I have?’

The choice is yours.
