What does it take to be prepared for the future? There are essentially two things.
First, you need to have some reliable view of what the future will be like. Insight gained from research and interviews, like a sports team scouting the competition, will give you some idea of what to expect. Carefully investigating the situation into which you anticipate going is vital.
With that done, you need next to have some idea what to do when you face it. You need to have a plan of attack, a plan of approach. What materials do you need (clothes, tools, devices…)? What skills are required? What are the expected social behaviors, and are you equipped to operate within them? Knowing what the situation will demand is the next vital component.
Being prepared is not something to assume just happens. Preparation and readiness are the result of effort and intentional action.
