“Premeditatio malorum is latin for premeditation of evils. Basically, if you’re wise, you should consider all the bad things that could happen. This is not an act of pessimism or negativity; it’s an act of preparation and confidence in your ability to face future challenges. Premeditatio malorum pushes you to new challenges out of necessity. Through challenges, strife, and obstacles – ones you may have avoided or never found had you stayed in your comfort zone – you grow. This builds job security and job options. When you have both job security and job options, you’re happier. Always.”

“A pandemic shutting down airports and crushing the travel and hospitality industry is a fact – were you prepared or not? You suddenly waking up and realizing that you hate your job is an opinion – were you prepared or not? The nature of the problem is different. The impact on you is not. In both cases, you need an exit strategy and options. You may say that one of these is worse than the other, or easier to deal with than the other. And that may be true. But you don’t want to be negatively impacted by EITHER for any longer than is absolutely necessary.”

“Who would want to work with someone who characterizes the world as some zero sum, chronically unfair game, with injustice at every turn? How can this mindset possibly serve you, your friends, your family, or your colleagues? Is it good for your financial, professional, or mental health? Is it something to teach children? Do you want your neighbors, the world even, to engage in this manner every time something doesn’t turn out their way?”
