Phrase: Ahead of the game
Getting by in life is not easy.
Life is a daily struggle, and we all want to get ahead of the game.
To do this and get out in front of co-workers or competitors, a person needs to have an advantage or be able to finish things before they need to be completed.
In other words, you can get ahead of the game if you can finish before your deadlines.
To get ahead of the game, a person needs an advantage or the ability to finish things early.
The game is what you’re trying to accomplish.
But that’s not the only way to gain an advantage.
Knowledge is power; once a person can realize that and commit to lifelong learning, they are ahead of the game.
You must keep up with a rapidly changing world or falsely believe you know everything you need to know, or you will be left behind.
Never stop learning, and you will always be able to gain an advantage over others in the game.
Some of you may be wondering what ‘the game’ is.
Well, ‘the game’ could be life, your job, or a project at work.
‘The game’ is whatever you are trying to accomplish.
