Opportunities !


Welcome to 51st Monday Musings:



A young man wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission.




The farmer looked at him and said, "Son, go stand out in that field. I'm going to release three bulls, one at a time. If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, you can marry my daughter."

The young man stood in the field awaiting the first bull. The barn door opened  and out came the biggest, meanest looking bull he had ever seen.. He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass through.

The barn door opened again.

Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so big and fierce in his life. It stood pawing the ground, it eyed him. Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice than this one he thought.

He ran to the fence and let the bull pass through.

The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull, he said to himself.

As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at just the exact moment. He threw his hands to grab..... But alas..... The bull had no tail.


Moral of the story :

Life is full of opportunities. Always grab the first one.

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." ~  Thomas Edison

"Your regrets aren't what you did, but what you didn't do. So I take every opportunity." ~ Cameron Diaz

Never wait for an opportunity in life, always use the first , make it best …….and if you feel opportunity is not opening door, create one !


Make it a great Week !
