I can't remember a time when I haven't been involved in the public. Throughout my triumphs and my defeats I continue to delve into the world around me. I immerse myself entirely in what I do. I don't give up. Sometimes though, I have to let you know, that the private life clashes with the public life. When it does you had better be prepared for the storm that is coming. Sun Tzu described in The Art of War;
"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near."
I like to think that in times of peace, you prepare for the battle.
So when the two worlds collide it may seem like the end, because you are in the public eye, people are watching you. But, yes at the same time you have remain resilient.
Another story that comes to mind is the story of Samson and Delilah. Samson was a biblical man with long flowing hair that gave him strength. He met a woman named Delilah. One day, while Samson was sleeping, Delilah allowed his enemies to come and shave his hair. They then imprisoned him and later killed him.
Samson had let his guard down, and his strength was stolen from him.
It is what you choose now to remain strong. In the public eye and private life.
