QUI VIVE

QUI VIVE

One who would achieve what others have not, can not, and will not achieve must surely do what others can not do, have not done, and will not do. The difference between those in front and those behind, is the extra speed, extra care, extra determination, and extra effort they have put into their journey and race. Everyone is on default, to be more you need to get customized for more.

A lot of things beg for our attention everyday, some are important, while others are very irrelevant and does not add any value whatsoever to our lives; if we don't become extra careful and extra vigilant as to what takes our time and attention, we will be living our lives on stuffs that would not add anything to us at all. As Henry Ward Beecher said, "Vigilance is not only the price of liberty, but of success of any sort.". If you are not vigilant, succeeding in anything in life will be tough.

We must carefully choose our actions, we must not be slack as to how we react and relate with the happenings and events around us. Life is not as easy as it seems, because "if it was easy, everyone would do it" Tom Hanks said.

Beware of caterpillars, bulldozers, pests, and parasites who have nothing to lose but everything to gain for destroying something of great value. You stand to lose everything if you don't get vigilant and fight them off. Like Thomas Jefferson once said, "Let the eye of vigilance never be closed." always stay alert, and vigilant, protect that which belongs to you with all you have got, and you will be proud you did.
