We are all time travelers on a journey into the future. However, we are not tourists with guides who can tell us just what lies ahead. Instead, we are explorers in an unknown area.
In our personal lives, we often feel the unknown in our future when we start college, take a new job, or open a business. We never can be sure what will happen to us. But the great explorers of the past would tell us that we have a better chance of succeeding if we prepare ourselves as well as possible.
Though those explorers are not here to advise us personally, we have descriptions of their expeditions(探险), and from these we can draw the lessons they would have offered for our journey into the unknown future. Reading records of great expeditions, we notice that the explorers prepared very carefully for their journeys. Their success depended on having the right equipment, the right supplies, the right teammates, and the right training.
So the first lesson of the great explorers is: Prepare for what you will face in the future. That may seem obvious, yet many people today see no point in preparing or even thinking about the future. “Let’s not worry about the future until we get there,” they say. The great explorers would have no use for such a person. Only a fool would imagine that problems will sit patiently waiting until we find a way to clear them up. However, problems may rush upon us at the worst possible moment, and our very survival can depend on how well we have prepared for them
Good preparation can work for us today as we plan how to deal with what we have to face. The well –prepared student does well on exams; the well-prepared job hunter gets hired. Most of us may think we have learned this lesson long ago, but we often seem to forget.
