Chapter 92: Things are only temporary
“You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking
backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your
future.”
Steve Jobs
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
Confucius
Everything is temporary
. All triumphs, defeat, joy, sadness that happen in our
life go by. What seems to be very important today is not important anymore in a
month or three months.
And what seems to be a disaster today can be a great
learning experience three months from now.
When I was jobless for over nine
months right after finishing college and was rejected by, I don’t even remember
how many companies, each one of my friends was pitying me and most of all I
pitied myself, but somehow deep down inside me I knew that
all of the
rejection is because something better is waiting
for me. In the end, I started
working in Barcelona, one of the most beautiful cities in the world with lots of
culture, beaches, a fantastic climate, a great football team, and about 300 days of
sun a year (very important for me at that time). My friends went directly from
pity to envy and from “poor Marc” to “lucky bastard!” Look at life with a little
more ease and sobriety knowing that misfortunes pass. Or as Rudyard Kipling in
his fantastic poem “IF” says
