Opportunities and fruit have a lot in common. Occasionally you spot and pluck that plump pear from the tree in the same motion, simple as that. It bursts with flavor when you take a bite, profit and productivity dribble down your chin in rivulets of juicy sweet success. Sometimes you spy the green/golden apple before its time, and patience is required to let it ripen; you keep an eyeball on it, finding it difficult to think about anything other than how delicious it will be once it reaches its season. Other times you have to explore a little to find your blackberry or fig—braving the brambles or bumbling among the branches to reap your reward. And every once in a while, a situation presents itself so obviously and advantageously you’re compelled to look around you to make sure that lone perfect peach doesn’t already belong to someone else: but you don’t wanna ask too loudly, just in case. <grin> The important thing to remember—whether oranges or opportunities—is that it’s better to bite into a bitter green banana than to squish your teeth into a persimmon past its prime. ’Tis preferable to pick early and often than let your chances rot on the vine. Love y'all.
