A Train Station Is A Birdcage
Looking out through the train station fence to the street, I noticed all these free birds out there and realized that I am the one inside the birdcage.
In a way, Fitting into the train’s schedules and train station’s locations is a “cage”. When working on a project it is easy to neglect our freedom and fit into the “cage” of the mission, narrowing down our options and developing a dependence on peers, providers or procedures.
Sometimes, it is for the best. Just do it knowingly and willingly.
Once On The Escalators, Moving Up Is Automatic.

1 – Look for the one that will take you all the way up to the level of your skills.
2 – Before getting on the escalators, Make sure you know where you want to go and what you want to do once there.
