IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head
(Meaning: My warped, personal opinions and musings.)
From the Author
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure to make your acquaintance, it's nice to meet you now.
Wise words from Winston Churchill -
Many people have heard of the "condemned to repeat it" phrase about history.
But I like its inverse:
"The further you look in the past, the farther you can see the future." - Winston Churchill
Change is inevitable -
In fact, the only Constant in Life is Change.
Those who don't embrace this universal truth can never leave the past. They become stuck in limbo, permanent citizens of nostalgic purgatory.
We must always evaluate our present actions to make sure that they are still effective, pertinent for our ever-changing times.
If not, complacency leaves us highly vulnerable to "out of the blue" bullets in the ass.
Given those facts, the following can be said about sitting on your laurels:
"In a quickly changing world, the surest path to failure is success unexamined." - Jaichai
