Many people always wait until they are forced into a corner before they start to change. In fact, the smartest way to live is to always stay ahead of when things happen.

Regarding wealth, you should start accumulating while your income is stable. Don't wait until you need money to realize the importance of savings. The same goes for health—it's much easier to maintain good health when you're healthy. Wait until problems arise and then go to the gym, and the efficiency is way lower. Learn empathy—don't wait until you're eliminated to start learning new things.

The same applies to relationships and self-improvement. The more stable the stage, the better the time for accumulation. Use this time to fill in your gaps, improve your professional skills, and expand your cognitive boundaries, so your overall life perspective can open up.

To put it simply, all passive situations can be prevented. The key is to have this awareness—the initiative always lies with those who plan ahead and take continuous action. Only then can life truly be a guaranteed win.
