Tips for dealing with uncertainty

  • Clarify your goals and objectives, what is really important to you and what is optional. 
  • Create a map.  You need a system that allows you to maneuver when you lose perspective.
  • Go towards uncertainty. Take the first step and you’ll see that the limits of the unknown become narrower.
  • Focus on what you can control in the short term. Do not obsess over what might happen in the future or you will be foolishly paralyzed.

  • Accept the risks
  • Be curious. Observe, read, question, learn, do not take anything for granted.
  • Be brave. The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
