Finding What You Want

"Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be fish."
Ovid

Many people cast their hook in a pool, and then, when there are no fish biting, give up and decide that fishing doesn't work for them. It doesn't occur to them that maybe they just picked a pool where there are no fish, and if they tried the next one over, it might be teeming with hungry fish. I'm not talking literally just about fishing here, the same idea applies in many areas, from marketing and sales to finding a mate. Whenever you are searching for something, whether it's customers or fish or a soul-mate, you must search in as many different places as possible, and you must keep doing so until you find what you were looking for.

Life has a way of always surprising us (which is good because it keeps us always interested to find out what will happen next). Situations usually don't go the way you planned. Things are often not where you expected to find them. If you really want something, then you have to go out and look for it in every place it could possibly be. You never know which of those places it could be hiding in, unless you look there.
