The usual advice is to live in the present. The past is
behind you, and the future seems too far away to think about. Our current moments, as
they say, are all we have. Generally, that’s good advice…but there are times when
thinking ahead can be valuable
If your goals are
vague, and you don’t put enough energy into establishing what they are, then you’ll find
yourself losing focus before you even have a chance to
succeed.
When you
think ahead, you see those opportunities. You also have a chance to pursue
them.
Every day, you experience something new,
and often that distracts you from your priorities rather than suggests new approaches to
achieving your
aims
Take notice of
people who think quickly on their feet in meetings. You may be impressed and think to
yourself: these people are really clever.
It's important to
know what personal values we want to achieve in life, on and off the job. Then we can
make career choices that help us meet the most possible of these values. Making an
initial list of our values is usually the easy part. Most of us can come up with a long
list. The real challenge - the tough part of determining values - comes in the choices
we have to make in setting our priorities, in deciding which values we will give up or
trade off when we face inevitable
contradictions.
