Interesting little vignette by Bob Massie about the need to seek opportunity in every situation:
to place ourselves in the rising and falling swells, paddling forward while glancing occasionally backwards, so that we will be ready when the big wave comes. If we do that, we will stand up at the right moment, establish our balance, take a deep breath, and ride the exhilarating force of history all the way to shore.
We live in interesting times. Much of what was thought as reliable has revealed itself to be no more than dust in the wind.
