Return To Aviation Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Will You Be At The Same Place Next Year? By Barry Rice The story is told of two hunters who got a pilot to fly them into the far north for elk hunting. They were quite successful in their venture and bagged six big bucks. The pilot came back, as arranged, to pick them up. They started loading their gear into the plane, including the six elk. The pilot objected and said, 'The plane can only carry four of your elk. Any more than that would weigh the plane down too much. You will have to leave two of the elk behind.' The two hunters were both infuriated and insistent. They said, 'Last year, we shot six elk and that pilot let us put them all on board. And that plane was the exact same model.' Reluctantly, the pilot finally permitted them to put all six aboard. But, about fifteen minutes after taking off, the engine started to sputter, and within seconds they were hurtling to the ground and crashed into the wilderness. Climbing out of the wreckage, one hunter said to the other, 'Do you know where we are?' 'I think so', replied the other hunter. 'I think this is about a mile from where we crashed last year!' We are all slow to learn at times. We make a mistake, and you would think we would learn never to make that mistake again, but we, many times, find ourselves right back where we were a year ago. We find ourselves in the same place and doing the same things that are keeping us where we do not want to be. We think, 'This time it will be different. This time it wont end up the same way.' But, often it does. Hopefully, though, we eventually reach a level of planning and maturity where we can learn from our mistakes. Huxley once said, 'Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.' Profiting from mistakes, learning from them and taking the appropriate action to not experience the same mistakes, again, is what succeeding (personally and professionally) is all about. And, when you are Moving Forward Out Of The Fog, you can be wherever youd like to be with your money, your home based business, job, relationships and more at this same time next year.
