If you chase what you want it will run away

You need a strategy

Run faster?

Depends WHAT you’re chasing.

Something you want

Strategy involves planning and thinking of different scenarios and what to do in each as it presents itself so you are prepared.

Chasing is just thoughtless pursuit of something that appears worthwhile.

If you are chasing a rabbit and you run faster it will still outrun you, strategy would be to set a trap.

Not if you are faster. Strategy can be instinctual. Running after something can be part of a strategy. I am not as fast as the rabbit but I have more stamina. I will chase him and he will tire. Then I will catch him and eat him.

Strategy can be inbuilt. Fish swim in shoals because there is greater safety in numbers. They didn't have a meeting about strategy before they set off swimming.

Not everything is a chess match.

Just my thoughts, off the cuff, no strategy 🇬🇧🚒😎

You’re missing the point if you have big ambitions or goals you don’t achieve them without a plan and a strategy to get there. If you want to be mediocre sure you don’t need a strategy.

I don't think I am. Not everybody who has "made it" had a plan. Some were lucky. Some were gifted. Some were chosen. Some had a strategy.

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. A gift is hidden behind 10,000 hours of practice. The chosen were chosen by the master for their ability.

Rubbish

I know taking responsibility for the good and bad in your life is hard.

Mozart was gifted. He didn't practice 10000 hrs. He was 5 when he was composing. We mere mortals may have to work at it but some don't. I agree that forethought will help but I also believe in miracles

I’m not saying we all start with equal ability. But if you have a goal it is unwise to just sit around hoping and waiting. Figure out how to get there and get to work.

If you have two people with equal ability and one has a strategy to reach the same goal and the other does not the odds are heavily in the favour of the one with the plan.

Unless the lazier one gets lucky

Yea by why not stack the odds in your favour

You're fun

😆

That is a different story. Now you have elaborated I would agree with you further. I

It was an analogy I think you were taking to literal

I'm a contrary shitposter.

Shitpost away 🫡

Keeping emotions in check and sticking to a strategy is harder than you think.

Absolutely but without one you are doomed before you even begin

No doubt.
