Quote of the day:
“Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome. “
~ Arthur Ashe, an American professional tennis player who won three Grand Slam titles
A recent blog post inquired while discussing the ramifications of change, “What are the unintended consequences of what you are doing right now?” Every part of one’s life is actually a complex system -- defined as “system featuring a large number of interacting components (agents, processes, etc.) whose aggregate activity is nonlinear (not derivable from the summations of the activity of individual components) and typically exhibits hierarchical self-organization under selective pressures.” In other words, it is hard to figure out what is going to happen because there are so many variables with dependencies, competitions, relationships, or other types of interactions. This is something I had observed from personal experience, and I used to tell my kids that Mom’s law of interactions was slightly different than the law of physics – mine was “for every action, there is an opposite and not necessarily equal reaction”. It can be quite perplexing at times, and there aren’t many do-overs either
Good thing it is a journey and not a test, isn’t it?
