day no. 15,673: swing and amiss

In reading The Art of Manliness, Manvotionals: Timeless Wisdom and Advice on Living the 7 Manly Virtues by Brett McKay, I came across the following quotes,

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

Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might

Some opportunities are missed out on due to laziness, while others are missed by never being manufactured. There are moments that only hard work could take captive, but there are also moments that only hard work can create. Many opportunities come and go because they seem too hard at the moment, but there are other opportunities which, as a result, never come.

In other words, if you miss out on planting the seed today, you will miss out on harvesting the fruit tomorrow.
