“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.”

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?”

“I can picture purchasing a product, such as a vehicle, a bicycle, or even grocery items, and seeing the emissions to produce the item and transport it to its location on its product tag, or by scanning its bar code. Items with top quartile emissions or high ESG performance for the category may have a different color-coded tag. The price tag will become a product tag and information about the item and the producer would be available in its online description,”
