Waiting for good things!

In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by

waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you wish for doesn't fall in your lap; it

falls somewhere nearby, and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put in

the time and work it takes to get to it. This isn't because the universe is

cruel. It's because the universe is smart. It has its own cat-string theory and

knows we don't appreciate things that fall into our laps.
