Stay Behind the Pendulum

In a recent keynote speech "Eight Keys for Thriving in a Down Economy" by Jeff Schneider he mentioned the above.

Many times when the pendulum is swinging it can be to easy to get in front of it and run very fast. Sometimes we may want to think about getting behind it so we don't get crushed. The weight of that big ball can be overwhelming. I think of the one at the Oregon Convention Center. We watch day to day and year to year and see situations take hold and/or change. Sometimes we say the pendulum has swung too far or is about to turn the other way.

Therefore you may want to stay behind it and keep your ears and eyes open for the change in direction of the swing.
