Raymond Camp, who wrote a column called "Wood, Fish and Stream" for the New York Times, tells of a letter he got from a boy. It read, "Would you tell me where I could find a place to fish that is not more than five or six miles from my house in Queens? I am 14 years old and have saved up enough money to buy a rod, reel and line, but do not know where to go fishing. My father sometimes goes with other men, but he's too busy for me, so I have to find some place I can reach on my bicycle or the subway." The columnist managed to find out the father's name and send him his son's letter with a brief note. He received this reply from the father: "You handed me quite a wallop in your letter, but I am sorry you did not hit me harder and sooner. When I think of the opportunity I might have lost, it frightens me. I do not need to point out that I now have a new fishing companion, and we have already planned a busy spring and summer. I wonder how many other fathers are passing up similar opportunities?"
"We sometimes miss the great opportunities of life because we get sidetracked.
I once heard the tale of a talented and gifted bloodhound in England that started a hunt
by chasing a full-grown male deer. During the chase a fox crossed his path,
so he began now to chase the fox. A rabbit crossed his hunting path,
so he began to chase the rabbit. After chasing the rabbit for a while, a tiny field mouse
crossed his path, and he chased the mouse to the corner of a farmer's barn.
The bloodhound had begun the hunt chasing a prized male deer for his master
and wound up barking at a tiny mouse. It is a rare human being who can do three or four
different things at a time--moving in different directions..."
And many more...
