Position and Possession

 If you are not in possession, get into position ...Ozan Varol

The Puck goes where Gretzky is ! Gretzky, the Ice hockey star, anticipates where the puck will be and is in position ready for the possession of the puck.

Be it Soccer or Cricket or Badminton , you anticipate and move nimbly to be position !

An amateur on the other hand, reacts , to the ball to come on to decide! 

by that time, its too late

if you wait for everything to fall in place and be 100% sure, you are too late and too slow.

Same is true for life : Anticipate and assess risks and then move forward to take position!


It is not enough to wait and react to what comes your way, my dear friend. You must take your position, anticipate potential outcomes, and prepare yourself for what lies ahead. As in sports, so in life: if you wish to possess the puck, you must move deftly and be where Gretzky is. And when you are faced with challenges, it is only by being proactive, assessing risks, and taking bold action that you may hope to succeed. Do not be afraid to act with purpose, my friend, for it is only through action that we may attain our goals and realize our dreams.

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
