No Road Signs
• The importance of clarity is
easy to understand. Imagine
arriving on the outskirts of a
large city and being told to
drive to a particular home or
office in that city. But here’s
the catch.
No Road Signs• There are no road signs and
you have no map of the city. In fact, all you are given is a very general description of the home or office that is your goal. Here is the question: How long do you think it would take you to find a home or office in a city without a road map or without road signs?
No Road Signs
• The answer is: Probably
your whole life. If you ever
did find the home or office,
it would be very much a
matter of luck. And sadly
enough, this is the way
most people live their lives.
No Road Signs
• The average person starts
life traveling through an
unmapped and uncharted
world with no road map.
This is the equivalent of
starting off in life with no
goals and plans.
No Road Signs• He or she simply figures
things out as he or she goes along. Often, ten or twenty years of work will go past and the individual is still broke, unhappy in his or her job, dissatisfied with his or her marriage and making little progress.
No Road Signs
• And still, he or she goes
home every night and
watches television,
wishing and hoping that
things would get better.
But they seldom do. Not
by themselves.
