Once, I was asked what advice I’d give to young graduates. My answer was: “Strategize every move.”
I admire the opportunism I see in many young people, though it often feels more tactical than strategic. My wish for them is to channel that opportunism onto strategic rails.
To jump higher, athletes often step back first. The farther the step back, the higher the jump – usually. Moving backward isn’t always a loss; it can be part of the strategy.
