I think the best thing you can ever do is put your head down and do your best.
Irrespective of the circumstances.
If times, people around you, the economy, everything is good; a great ideal scenario, you put your head down and do your best. You are bound to get best outcomes.
If times, people around you, the economy, anything is bad or against you; what else you can do? The best thing to do is again doing your best. Irrespective of the circumstance.
I think that’s the only thing which has helped me sail the good, bad and ugly times, situations and people.
I strongly believe and have seen good things happen to good people on a long enough time scale and vice versa.
I recon that’s the law of nature. Irrespective of the circumstances.
