What The Road System Makes Me Realize…

RoadComparing today and yesterday’s trip to fetch my wife after a training class, I found that traveling on the same road on both days can varies in the time taken to arrive at the destination.

Yesterday, I left office at about 7.00 PM. and reach to the destination on 8.00 PM. It takes 1 hour for me to reach there. And today, the same road, but leaving office at 5.00 PM, I’ve reach there at 5.15 PM.

In my quest of saving time from unnecessary wastage, I’m wondering that just by traveling at different times can save me a big amount of time (and money too). Isn’t this interesting?!

So, similarly for success, if we are in the journey to discover the pattern that works for us, we will eventually make it to our destination by applying the right sequence of variables.

Would you agree? That patterns to success does exists.

Note that this is the first version (after a few drafts) of the diagram. I will be adding more to it when applicable.

Have you seen dandelion flowers before?dandelion

The flowers grow to its mature stage and wait for the wind to pollinate its seeds.
