To win life's game without a fall, keep your eyes open and on the ball.

The little things in life are like links in a chain: they never seem important by themselves. There is a time and a place for everything.Īlways think a problem through, before deciding what to do. On the other hand: If you're over confident, you might miss the boat. The motto of the wise is, be prepared for surprises.ĭon't jump to conclusions, or conclusions may jump on you.ĭoubting your chances before you're done, may cost you the race you might have won.
