When the future is fogged and ahead lays opportunity but risk, it is better to tread a careful path through the uncertainty than to wait for the mist to clear, if it ever does. The quote above hints at taking some time to think things through, before you act. In other words, take a moment to work out exactly what you want to achieve and why. Then proceed cautiously, gradually increasing your challenge as you go along.

If you rush in, you will probably make mistakes and learn from them. That’s why the quote says to tread a careful path through the uncertainty – because if you wait for the mist to clear, it may never happen at all.
