In our office there is one agent who is particularly negative. There is always something wrong. Her glass isn't half empty; it has been bone dry for years even ask her.
There is another fellow who is the eternal optimist. No matter how big the cloud he always sees the silver lining his glass isn't half full, he drinks from a pitcher.
This is a story of one of their choice accidental encounters. The other morning Ms. Negativity came in to the office and we asked her how she was doing.
"Terrible, the storm over the weekend had lightning, and it struck the ground between my house and my neighbor's and left a big hole in the ground. I don't know what to do"
With out skipping a beat our positive friend said "you can always plant a tree."
I guess you had to be there to really appreciate this, but I hope it brightened your day.
Always look for the opportunities that present themselves to you and be prepared to take advantage of them when they come.
