The importance of the achievement you made until this very moment depreciates over time, just like other commodities, by a lot. If you are one of those who still define yourself by something you have done in 2012, I want to ask you one simple question: Have you not achieved something in the past 9 years?
It is 2021 now. If any one of you guest speakers out there or professionals of whatever expertise still put something you did back in 2012 under your name, you are basically telling others that was your peak, and you have never gone any point higher than that since then. That is pathetic personal branding. That is not an exciting life to live for. That also, in other words, convince others not to be connived by you because you, on paper, let 9 years slip through your fingers. Will audience want to listen to advices given by such individual? Will anyone really want a leader like that?
On the other hand, you can let your past achievements not depreciate, and increase in value, by keep moving forward and writing your life. I am saying, if you don’t stop moving forward and achieving, if you don’t stop expanding your influence and don’t stop connecting for mode, then you will actually increase the significance of achievements of today because you keep trying to get higher and higher.
So, today’s peak would not be the highest peak, Achievements of today would be stairs that let you move to higher places. Achievements of today are just part of the bigger achievement of tomorrow. This is how you can make today worth more than just today: by creating and investing the bigger tomorrow.
