A young man from the city graduated from college with a degree in journalism and got his first job at a small town newspaper. One of his first assignments was to interview an old farmer who lived twenty miles outside of town. As he sat with the grizzled man on his front porch, the young journalist looked at his notepad, hesitated for a moment and then started asking questions. Anxious to know more about life on a farm, one of the very first questions he asked was “Sir, what time do you go to work in the morning?”
The old farmer chuckled and replied, “Son, I don’t go to work. I’m surrounded by it.”
Each of us here today can learn a lesson from what this old farmer shared. Opportunities are a lot like his work. They are everywhere. But the problem is that we often do not have the vision to see them.
The challenge for every one of us as we approach each day is simply to take a look around. If you don’t see opportunities, it’s not because they are not there. We are always surrounded by them. We need simply to open our eyes, and then act upon them.
