“Investing is the greatest business in the world because you never have to swing. You stand at the plate; the pitcher throws you General Motors at 47! U.S. Steel at 39! And nobody calls a strike on you. There's no penalty except opportunity. All day you wait for the pitch you like; then, when the fielders are asleep, you step up and hit it.” WorldOpportunityWaitingStepsInvestingStrikesSwingsPlatesPenaltiesSteelMotorPitcherStep UpGeneral Motors Author:Warren Buffett

“Allowing the fly to sink to the fish's level, the angler makes a retrieve. The fly comes directly at the fish, which suddenly sees its approach. As the small fly get nearer, the fish moves forward to strike, but the tiny fly doesn't flee at the sight of the predator. Instead it continues to come directly toward the fish. Suddenly the fish realizes intuitively that something is wrong(its never happened before), so it flees until it can assess the situation. An opportunity for the angler has been lost.” Has BeensMovingOpportunityLostRealizingLevelsSituationHappenedSeaApproachRiversSightFishesStrikesTinyMoving ForwardBoatLakesFishingAllowingPredatorAnglers Author:Lefty Kreh

And that, I think, is something that we all have to think about.” PeopleIfsThinkingLifeNeedsDifferentAbleYoungOpportunityIndividualGivenVisionGraceDangerousStrikesVersusGrace Of GodVision Of Life Author:Barack Obama
