Quote of my life

2011-02-18

A friend of mine gave me a book this Christmas by Peter F. Drucker. He was a famous businessman who was highly successful. Later in life he wrote a book with quotes from his time as a business leader. I am always looking for inspiration from highly successful people. His book was full of inspiration and motivation. It was hard to choose, but I selected a couple of my favorite quotes from his book.

1.One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.

I liked this quote because it reminded me that I can’t control every detail of my life, but I can have a plan A, a plan B and of course a plan C. With three backup plans, I will always be ahead of the change.

2.When you begin to fall into a pleasant routine, it is time to force yourself to do something different.

This quote made me put the book down and ponder. I made a list of all the things in my life that are ‘’safe’’. I tried to think about why I continue to do things that are safe and easy and why I don’t take risks. There are some things in my life that I must not take a risk with, but for the majority of things- I can challenge myself and do something different. Change can be a good thing too.

backup plans　＝代替案、予備案 fall into =陥る、分ける ponder=じっくり考える take a risk =リスクを負う（冒す）
