There's no Magic bullet

Was talking to a friend yesterday over lunch. He asked me what were the learning lessons that i took away from SMU.
  1. There is no magic bullet: You can be well prepared. But life is really a black swan. Not everything goes your way
  2. Since there is no magic bullet, should you giving trying all together? No, because not trying will definite eliminate your chances totally. Instead just take note of the following:
  • Know who you are
  • Know what you stand for
  • Know where your hope lies, which is in eternity, and not in this world.
