No matter how good things look, the best leaders never fail to
anticipate the worst outcomes.
In
his "Commentaries on the Gallic Wars," Julius Caesar writes:
"The immortal gods are wont to allow those persons whom they wish to
punish for their guilt sometimes a greater prosperity and longer impunity, in
order that they may suffer the more severely from a reverse of circumstances."
Basically, if you're on a winning streak, watch out.
Julius Caesar would have done well to actually follow this advice himself. Instead, he allowed a conspiracy to boil under him once he became dictator, resulting in his famous assassination!!
