Fine Wines and Diamonds

  • There is a time for thinking and a time for acting, and the gulf in time separating these two cardinal activities is typically miniscule. Those who think too long and circuitously and don’t act expeditiously frequently miss out on golden opportunities to people who are more quick-witted and nimble between the ears.  Don’t be afraid to pull the trigger the second your finger contacts that danged thing if your gut is screaming at you to do so; opportunities, like trophy big game, typically only hang around for a moment before disappearing in a flash.  All they leave behind in their wake are regrets.  Waiting a long time to make an “informed” decision (code for procrastinating), together with the concept of aging gracefully, typically only applies to the creation of fine wines and diamonds.
