Make sure you are not your own obstacle


I have a colleague. He is nearing his 50s and yet he has not achieved much in his career and life.

He got his basic degree like 10 years ago, which is considered late. He is not married and has no children. In my establishment, he is just an ordinary junior officer despite being in the field for more than 25 years.

Why ? He is his own obstacle.

He keeps telling people ( and himself ) things cannot be done. He sees ghost at every corner. Thus he refuses be adventurous and steps out of his comfort zone.

What a waste of potential. Thats what i told him last week.

The English idiom says "No venture no gain".

Sometime we need to live our lives dangerously.
