Take Heed: Life Intrudes!

"Back-ups. Contingency plans. Insurance. Safety nets. Catastrophe plans. All seem to be so much trouble, so much of an investment of time and resources. So little return," John Blumberg points out.

But, he says, when a disaster does strike, "you will have a first-hand experience in an instantaneous exponential change in perceived value."

Blumberg reminds us, that "to live for the best, we must be prepared for the worst." Solid preparation, he says, "can give you significant momentum even through the worst of circumstances."

Words to live by: Expect the best, prepare for the worst, and manage according to how things really are.
