The situation varies from day to day, but your mission remains unchanged.
Your mission in life is to get the best from ANY situation.
It important to note that whenever you enter a situation, what you do or say, will have one of three outcomes.

It is important to note that:

How can you ensure that you always improve upon the current situation?
Look at the diagram below and you will see how things work.
- Your current results are being affected by your current actions.

From the above diagram we can derive the following principles, in order to get the best from any situation:
- Gain all the knowledge you can, that is relevant to the current situation. Educate yourself. Get the facts.
- Act only on the basis of factual knowledge.
- Do not take action on mere guesswork, unsupported opinions, or arbitrary theories.

- Your feelings are a product of your thinking and your attitude.
