Defining Moments

Last month, while reading Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki's book, "Why We Want You to be Rich", I came across this quote that I found really pertinent and inspiring:

We all have defining moments. It is in these defining moments that we find our true characters. We become heroes or cowards; truth tellers or liars; we go forward or we go backward.
- Robert Kiyosaki
What struck me about this quote is that I believe I am once again faced with a defining moment. And as usual a lot of questions and issues arise:
  • Who will I be a hero for?
  • What battles will I fight and with whom?
  • What would be of greater benefit for everyone in the long-run?
  • While there is no question about telling the truth, the challenge has been always been in telling it tactfully and soliciting the favorable action.
  • Again, there is no question about moving forward. How you do it is the real clincher.
I take solace in the fact that I will emerge wiser after this.

Abangan! :)
