A race car driver was once asked how he avoided wrecks. He said that if you’re looking down to the next turn as much as you’re looking at what’s right in front of you, you’ll be able to both get ahead of other cars and also spot trouble before it arrives on your bumper.
You’re not guaranteed your next breath. You could meet your maker in the next minute or in fifty years. So pay attention to what’s right in front of you. See life as if you had little time to make the most of it, but also look ahead and plan your life as if you have decades more to reach for what matters.
Looking near and far at the same time may seem tough at first, but you can do it.
Buy a nice pair of bifocals.
