There are those that have gone before you.
They have forged a path.
There are experiences to impart.
Knowledge to pass on.
Learnings to share.
Wisdom.
So, clarify and query.
Absorb and comprehend.
Listen and understand.
It will save a misstep.
Direct your energy.
Focus your efforts.
Then you get to forge your own path.
And be among those that have gone before others.
With experiences to impart and learnings to share.
“Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?” – Voltaire
“Nothing speaks like results. If you want to build the kind of credibility that connects with people, then deliver results before you deliver a message. Get out and do what you advise others to do. Communicate from experience.” – John C. Maxwell, author of “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You” (among many, many other books).
