On Foresight

by Gwendolyn

I had a slight fever one day. My head throbbed. And my throat was sore. After work, I headed to the house immediately. I would have wanted to buy some stuffs from the department store or hang out in a resturant. But my body was begging for a respite.

After I got into my room, I went to the kitchen to get hot water. A friend was there. She talked lengthily about food and her future plans that my own plan of lounging in my room was temporarily shelved. The conversation was truly engaging. And I found out that we have a lot of things in common particularly in attitudes and values.

For someone so young (she’s only 18 years old), it is refreshing to note that she has a lot of plans for her future. Foresight is a trait that seems to be in short supply these days. Most young people I know appear to live for the here and now. What they don’t know is that life is synonymous with growth. Without growth, life becomes stagnant. And a stagnant life has no future.

A very vicious cycle indeed.

Tiger Woods once said in an interview, “You get out of golf what you put into it. If you bust your butt and work hard, you will improve.”

The same is true in life. You get out of life what you put in it too.
