You must Jump the gun

When Athletes assemble to compete on various races, they wait for the gun shot to be fired before they start running. Those who go before the gun are usually disqualified or if not spotted they get an advantage or an edge over the others. This gun scenario has been used as an Idiom to say you going before time. If you want to be predictable in the game of success then play by the rules of the society. Wait for the gun to be shot. Entrepreneurs are risk takers. They find opportunity in a deserted area. The norm of the people is to live safe by going with the gun. The successful visionary dares to take the risk of jumping the gun, security might lose him the race. If he goes on the time of everyone else then he'l have much more competition. Unlike the race track life rewards those who jumped the gun. They have the headstart to either achieve great or learn from their falls. By the time the safe runners join the race he would have already learn't all the possibilities of every outcome.

The school system prepares us to get a job and work for someones company and make them more richer. We get paid to induce our ideas to boost up someone else's wealth. Truth of the matter is school gives you all the information you need to Jump the gun. It was the high school business textbook that enabled you to understand business environments. Be daring to time the shot of life, don't  be afraid to take a jump when you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Asses your vision and go for it, don't wait for a go ahead. Once its clear in your mind then jump the gun and get it done. Many people procrastinate because they want to get it easy, and the only easy way is when you are familiar with every possible outcome. I once realised that sometimes you get used to winning that you not aware when you lost. So you have to define what is a lose for yourself, don't let another entity determine your life for you,the most safest thing to do is to take the risk you fear and put it in your own hands and in that way you know that you safe.
