Quote by Pat Riley

Being ready isn't enough; you have to be prepared for a promotion or any other significant change.

Being ready isn't enough; you have to be prepared for a prom

Summary

Simply being ready or meeting the basic requirements is not sufficient when it comes to availing opportunities such as promotions or major transitions. It is essential to be fully prepared, having taken the necessary actions and acquired the relevant skills and knowledge that position you for success. Merely being ready implies a passive state, whereas being prepared indicates actively investing effort and time into your personal and professional growth. Being prepared leads to increased confidence, competence, and adaptability, enhancing your chances of successfully navigating any significant change that comes your way.

And I tell you, having girls has made me a much better man. I have friends who are fathers, but they only have boys, and they have the same attitude toward women they always had, you know? And I don't play that... My girls, you mess with them? I will bury you underground.
