I need five essential things
to live
– oxygen, water, food, shelter
and
an energy source.
Without sufficient oxygen,
we all die.
I don’t really have to monitor this.
I’ll be told
if the planet is running out
of oxygen.
The other four inputs
I monitor.
I watch precipitation levels.
I read about crop yields.
I look for maintenance issues
with the home I own.
I watch for any sign
the electricity grid
is strained
or gas for vehicles
is in short supply.
I then take action
if I think any of these essentials for life
are challenged.
I obtain more in advance
and/or
I look for alternate sources
and/or
take other actions.
I do the same
with the businesses
I’m building.
I list the essential inputs.
I monitor them.
I take action
if any of them
appear to be challenged.
Monitor all essential inputs.
Ensure you always
have a solid supply
of those inputs.
