Two men looked out of the prison bars
One saw the mud, the other saw stars…
Once the danavs went to Bhramaji and said, “You are as much our father as you are of the devatas, why do they have so much better a time than us? Why this partiality?” Bhramaji replied, “Well, let me invite you and your brothers for dinner one night; and we can discuss this after food.” The invites were sent out and both the devatas and the danavs, and they arrived at Brahamaji abode on the date. The danavs were led to a dining room where they found lavish arrangements and wonderful food. However, when they sat down and were about to start eating, they realised their arms had been magic-ed and they could no longer bend them at the elbows. With arms like that, they tried to feed themselves by putting their mouth to the plate and many other ways, but none of them really worked, and what was promising to be a very enjoyable dinner turned out to be a hopelessly frustrating experience. While this was going on, they suddenly noticed, that the sounds from the other room were of a lot more pleasant. Hungry and angry, they marched out to see what was going on in the dining room where the devatas were having their dinner. The devatas, they found, had also got their arms magic-ed, however, they had gone on to feed each other, and so each one could enjoy the food on the table.

This is entirely unconnected but the most significant thought in my mind right now is that I should be more proactive in getting things done.
If I think I have a solution for a problem and that solution has been scheduled after another 5 days, I tend to wait for another 5 days thinking in my mind that the problem would be solved on the 6th day.
Things often go wrong and the 6th day I usually have 2 problems rather than 1.
Don't wait. Continue trying to line-up your ducks.
Which is why being a member of the 59th minute club isnt all that great an idea!! ;)
